In Florida real estate, the deal isn’t done when you shake hands; it’s done when the ink dries on the contract.
Whether you are a seasoned real estate agent, an aspiring investor, or a buyer trying to navigate the complex Florida market, the FAR/BAR Contract is the single most important document you will encounter. It dictates every timeline, every dollar, and every liability in the transaction.
Yet, too many professionals and buyers sign these documents without fully understanding what happens if financing falls through, if a survey reveals an encroachment, or if a storm delays closing.
That’s why we created the Ultimate FAR/BAR Contract Video Course.
We have broken down the entire contract—section by section, clause by clause—into bite-sized, easy-to-understand videos. Available right now on our website and YouTube channel, this series is designed to give you the confidence to negotiate better deals and avoid costly legal pitfalls.
What You Will Learn
This video series takes you from the very top of the page to the final signature. We strip away the confusing “legalese” and explain exactly what these terms mean for you and your clients.
Highlights of the course include:
- The Essentials: How to correctly identify buyers and sellers (including trusts and corps) and clearly define what property is conveying.
- Money Matters: A deep dive into Purchase Price, Escrow Deposits, and the critical differences between Cash and Financing contingencies.
- The “What Ifs”: Detailed explanations of Defaults, Force Majeure (Acts of God), and what happens when a deal goes south.
- The Fine Print: We decode the “Standards” sections (A through O), covering everything from Title Evidence and Surveys to the complex FIRPTA tax laws.
- Timelines: Mastering the “Effective Date,” Closing Dates, and how to handle Extensions properly.
Why This Matters
A single checked box in the wrong place can mean the difference between a smooth closing and a lost deposit—or worse, a lawsuit. By watching this series, you are arming yourself with the knowledge to:
- Protect your interests (or your client’s interests) proactively.
- Minimize liability by understanding disclosure requirements.
- Streamline the closing process by anticipating costs and requirements early.
