Frequently Asked Questions

What is a real estate transaction?

A real estate transaction is the process by which ownership of a property is transferred from seller to buyer, typically through a signed contract, financing arrangements, and title review. In commercial deals, this process also involves due diligence, disclosures, and coordinated closing steps to ensure a smooth transfer of rights and obligations.

Commercial property sales timelines vary, but most deals move from letter of intent to contract and due diligence to closing. Factors include loan approval, title clearance, and negotiated contingencies. Delays can occur for environmental, zoning, or financing issues, which is why early planning and experienced counsel are helpful.

Common fees in real estate transactions include broker commissions, title insurance, recording fees, and legal or advisory fees. Additional costs may include due diligence reports, inspections, and lender-related charges, depending on the deal structure.

To start a commercial real estate transaction, you typically need property documents (deed, title report, surveys), financial statements, leases, and any existing loan information. Having a clearly defined goal and selecting your team early helps streamline drafting and negotiations.

Title insurance protects against losses from defects in the title that are not discovered in the initial review. While not always required, obtaining a policy is common in commercial deals to safeguard ownership and provide a clear path to closing.

Yes, leasing terms can be negotiated as part of the sale, especially when the property is leased or part of a portfolio. A well-drafted assignment or lease rider helps protect the buyer’s and seller’s interests and ensures clarity on ongoing occupancy and rent.

Regulatory compliance affects Beverly Hills deals through zoning rules, permit requirements, and disclosure obligations. An experienced attorney helps identify regulatory hurdles early and coordinate disclosures to avoid delays at closing.

In due diligence, you should review title, surveys, leases, income statements, and potential environmental concerns. A comprehensive checklist helps ensure no material issue is overlooked before signing the purchase agreement.

Typically, the parties include the buyer, seller, lenders, title company, and the real estate agents or brokers. The attorney often coordinates the document drafting and closing steps to keep everyone aligned.
