Florida Foreclosure Law

I have been hearing alot about the new law that goes into effect in Florida in November regarding not being able to take a fee or deposit up front from a homeowner unless you are a lawyer.  Is this true and is there any way to to be legal without being an attorney. 

Our clients love us.  We work very hard for them and charge much less than an attorney.  I am afraid that if we don’t get the fee before the Mod is complete it is just human nature that we will have to fight to get paid.  As it is we break our fee into  3 payments to give them some breathing room. 

It really kills me that my company has to pay the price for the crooks out there that couldn’t care less about doing the right thing, and actually making a good living helping people.  They would rather do nothing and just be the bums and theives that they are!!!  Thanks again.

Hi Roben,

The date is October, not November and there is no exception in Florida Statute 501.1377 for attorneys. 

Thanks for the questions and hope this helps.
