My wife and I own two properties in Florida, a home in a gated community and a vacation condo also in Florida.
If we ever decided to sell either one, I would use an agent for the home and hire a title company to handle the condo closing because I would do a FSBO on the Condo.
I have heard the east and the former colonies use the old english system with lawyers. I bought two lots near Ft Bragg in NC and there was lawyer managing the process. Circa 1994. Does the title company take care of all that. We have escrow in the west.
