A real estate transaction is the negotiated process by which a buyer and seller transfer ownership of commercial property, supported by a purchase agreement, title search, disclosures, and closing documents.
Key steps include drafting or reviewing the purchase agreement, conducting due diligence, resolving title issues, arranging financing, negotiating contingencies, and coordinating escrow and closing.
