Below are common terms you may encounter in Willits real estate transactions, explained in plain language.
Escrow is a neutral process where a third party holds funds and documents until conditions of the sale are met, ensuring both sides’ interests are protected during the transaction.
Closing is the final step where ownership transfers, documents are signed, funds are disbursed, and recorded with the county.
Title refers to the legal concept of property ownership and the chain of previous owners, claims, and encumbrances that affect transfer.
A deed is the legal document that transfers ownership from one party to another and is recorded with the county to provide public notice of the transfer.
