Probably not needed to have an attorney review your contract in Florida. The contracts are boiler plate. Depending on what is customary in your area, seller or buyer may pay title. Most banks will cover the sellers title fees in a short sale. I am in Bay County FL and seller pays title but if you go one county away, it is customary for buyer to pay title.
YES do an inspection! ALWAYS!
Agreed with Jeff. Regardless of who customarily pays for title in your county (your agent can tell you) the listing will probably designate the title co. as they have to cooperate on the short sale process, or may actually be handling the short sale negotiations. Find your own buyer's agent if you don't already have one. They should know what to look for when looking at a potential short sale property. Feel free to ask questions here as you go along.
Thank you all for the suggestions. We are in Miami-Dade county now and the property is in Broward County.
The attorney I had been talking to lowered is fee for us and so we're using him. He has a lot of experience with real estate and owns his own title company. Who knows if he bills me as title work, my relocation plan might just pay for it.
