A real estate transaction is a multi-step process that transfers property ownership from seller to buyer, typically involving a contract, title search, disclosures, financing, escrow, and closing.
Core elements include agreement terms, title and escrow, disclosures, inspections, financing contingencies, and a clear closing plan that aligns with state and local regulations.
Glossary of common terms you’ll encounter in Pittsburg real estate deals to help you understand the language of contracts and closings.
Escrow is a neutral process and account used to hold funds and documents during a real estate transaction until all conditions are met for closing.
Title insurance protects you against defects in the property’s title that could affect ownership, ensuring the insured party has clear title at closing.
Closing is the final step in a real estate deal where ownership changes hands and funds are disbursed, usually at a title company or escrow agent.
Disclosures are documents that reveal known property defects or conditions that could affect value or desirability, required by law.
