Who We Serve

Commercial closings: where diligence is the deal

Commercial files are residential files with the safety rails removed — custom contracts, layered entities, surveys that matter, leases that follow the property, and numbers with more zeros. This is where attorney-supervised title stops being a slogan.

What changes when the file is commercial

Survey review moves from formality to core diligence — encroachments, access, and legal descriptions carry real money. Zoning, permitted use, and municipal compliance become title-adjacent questions. Estoppels multiply: tenants, associations, declarants. Endorsement negotiation with the underwriter becomes strategy rather than checkbox. And the escrow mechanics — earnest money structures, holdbacks, post-closing agreements — are drafted, not defaulted.

Our commercial files run with attorney supervision as a structural feature: requirement negotiation, document review, and closing mechanics coordinated between the title team and, where engaged, the law firm on your side of the table.

Speed with documentation

Commercial parties measure title partners on turnaround certainty: when the commitment lands, what it costs, and whether requirements get cleared without rediscovery. Our answer is the same discipline we publish for every file — day-one ordering, parallel curative work, named-owner status on every open item.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do promulgated rates apply to commercial policies too?

Yes — Florida's promulgated premium schedule applies to commercial coverage amounts as well, with the marginal rate declining at higher tiers ($2.50 per $1,000 from $1M–$5M, $2.25 to $10M, $2.00 above). Endorsements carry their own promulgated or filed charges.

Can you coordinate with our outside counsel?

Seamlessly — many commercial clients bring deal counsel and use Milestone Title for the title, escrow, and settlement work. We slot into your working group; where you'd rather have local Florida real estate counsel, the law firm can serve under separate engagement.

What should we send for a commercial quote?

The contract (or LOI terms), entity names on both sides, the survey if one exists, and your target dates. You'll get a real quote and a requirements preview, not a brochure.
