Remote closings in all 67 Florida counties — attorney-supervised from our Hallandale Beach office

In-person and remote closings across South Florida — and remote closings in every one of Florida's 67 counties. One real office, one closing team, the same statewide math — and a signing that comes to your screen instead of asking you to travel.

One office, stated plainly

We are not local everywhere. We are remote everywhere — deliberately.

Milestone Title’s only office is at 100 North Federal Highway, Suite 200, Hallandale Beach— and every page in this system says so. You will not find a Tampa suite number or an Orlando storefront here, because there isn’t one. What there is: a team that has closed these markets remotely for years, under attorney supervision, from one address it actually occupies.

The model is not a workaround — it is how Florida practice works now. Remote online notarization handles the signing wherever you are, the deed e-records with the clerk of the county where the property sits, and the promulgated rates and tax statutes read the same in every county seat.

How it works

The remote closing, step by step

Florida authorized remote online notarization by statute, effective 2020 — Chapter 117, Florida Statutes. The machinery is arguably stricter about identity than the conference-room version.

STEP 01

The RON session

You appear before a Florida online notary in a secure audio-video session. Identity is verified through credential analysis of your government ID plus knowledge-based authentication — a stricter identity check than most in-person signings — documents are signed electronically, and the session is recorded and retained as Florida law requires.

STEP 02

The eligibility pre-flight

Not every document in every transaction is RON-eligible: lender rules, underwriter requirements, and certain instruments can require ink or witnesses. We confirm eligibility for your document set up front and stage hybrid signings — RON plus mail-away ink — when a package mixes both.

STEP 03

Funding, under the standing rules

Closing funds move under the same wire discipline every Milestone file gets: wiring instructions never change mid-transaction, and changes are never communicated by email alone. Milestone SafeFunds documents the entire posture.

STEP 04

E-recording with the county clerk

After funding, documents e-record in the official records of the county where the property sits — any of Florida's 67 — and the file isn't closed internally until the recording confirmations are in it.

The mechanics above are the same approved copy published on our Remote Online Notarization service page and in the RON guide — one promise, told once. Wire security is documented in full at Milestone SafeFunds.

Every county’s clerk, deeds, and official records — one navigator

The Florida Records Navigator maps all 67 counties to their official sources — deed and plat searches through each Clerk, parcel data through the Property Appraiser, taxes through the Tax Collector — plus the recording math for each. It is the county layer behind every remote market on this page.

The math is already statewide

Title premiums are promulgated by Florida rule — the same rates statewide — and deed documentary stamps run $0.70 per $100 in every county except Miami-Dade, which has its own structure. Select “Other Florida county” in either tool and the statewide rates and customs apply.

Questions

Remote closings, answered plainly

Is a remote closing legal in Florida?

Yes — Florida authorized remote online notarization by statute, effective 2020 (Chapter 117, Florida Statutes), with strict requirements for identity proofing, technology, and record retention. Florida is among the national leaders in RON adoption, and we have closed files this way across the state for years.

How does the remote signing actually work?

By secure audio-video session with a Florida online notary, on a Florida-approved platform. Identity proofing runs two layers most in-person signings never attempt — credential analysis (forensic automated inspection of your government ID) plus knowledge-based authentication (a timed personal-history quiz). Fail either, and the session doesn't proceed. Documents are signed electronically with tamper-evident sealing, and the session recording is retained as Florida law requires.

Can my whole closing be done remotely?

Often, but it is document-and-lender specific: cash deals are the most flexible, and financed deals depend on the lender's and underwriter's RON policies. Tell us early that you want a remote closing and we will engineer the signing plan around what is eligible — staging hybrid signings (RON plus mail-away ink) when a package mixes both.

How does recording work when the property is across the state?

Electronically, county by county: Florida records at the county level, so after funding we e-record with the clerk of the county where the property sits and confirm actual recording — not just submission — before the file is closed out. Our Records Navigator links every county's official search portals if you want to pull the recorded deed yourself.

Do you ever close in person?

In-person closings are available throughout South Florida; everywhere else in Florida we close remotely. If your transaction — or you — happen to be in South Florida, the conference table in Hallandale Beach is always an option.
