  • J. Lindsey Chong, Esq

    Lindsey has handled South Florida real estate transactions, both commercial and residential, for over a decade. She has a multi-faceted approach to resolving title issues because in her past experience at a large litigation firm, she was tasked with representing numerous title insurance carriers. Lindsey also handles property insurance claims litigation throughout Florida. 

    She understands the legal jargon contained in property insurance policies because she’s reviewed and analyzed hundreds of them. She evaluates whether your property damage is covered and if so, will walk you through the process of putting in a property insurance claim. In addition, it is her goal to help her clients recover the monies they need to repair covered property damage as quickly as possible. Lindsey has also litigated disputes arising from contracts for the sale of businesses, independent contractor agreements, and real estate contracts.

    Lindsey is a tenacious negotiator and genuinely cares for her clients. She combines work ethic, responsiveness, and diligence to better serve her clients. When she’s not helping her clients, she can be found spending time with her husband, Andre, her two young sons, Axel and Adrian, and her goldendoodle, Sox. She also enjoys traveling, running, and reading fiction.

  • I have been working with Mila Lopata for around 8 years, and I am thoroughly impressed with her expertise and professionalism. Mila is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate industry and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail is exceptional, and she always makes sure all of my questions are answered in a timely manner. Overall, I highly recommend Mila Lopata and her title company for any real estate transactions.

  • We worked with Mila on a pretty complex closing in 2021. The property had major issues and limitations that prevented the closure, which the seller’s agent did not disclose in a timely fashion, hence we realized we wouldn’t be able to get a mortgage just before we were about to close. However, Mila made this closing happen by being extremely diligent, working closely with our mortgage broker, association board and the real estate agent from the buyer’s side. The seller’s lawyer did not do their part of this deal, but Mila pulled it off for both parties and honestly did magic. We wouldn’t have closed on this property if it wasn’t for her!

  • Mila is extremely professional and really efficient. She assisted us with a condo closing, and everything went very smoothly. It was a lengthy process, and she was there for every step of the way. I could fully rely on her for her legal expertise as a lawyer, as well as a title agent. She ensured I was well informed on all details, she was on top of things and provided a quick turn-around on sensitive aspects of this closing. I highly recommend Mila and her company to my friends and family as she is a great professional and is easy to work with!

  • Since I began working with Mila and Lindsey 8 months ago they have assisted me in over a dozen transactions that vary from flips, wholesale, commercial, and 1031 exchanges. They are the most responsive title company that I have ever worked with and go beyond the call of duty to ensure buyers and sellers needs are being met. In addition to being reliable and responsive, they have assisted me in finding buyers for several of my properties. I would recommend their services to friends and family and have peace of mind knowing that they are working with the best in the business.
