Glossary terms paired with plain-language explanations help you navigate the process.

A purchase and sale agreement is a written contract that lays out the property, price, and closing terms between buyer and seller. It sets expectations for timelines, contingencies, and responsibilities. It also provides a framework for negotiating repairs, credits, and other conditions before transfer of ownership.
While California allows certain contract forms to be used, having a licensed attorney review or draft the agreement helps ensure compliance with local laws and avoids gaps that could complicate a sale. An attorney can explain risks and tailor the document to your situation.
If a contingency isn’t satisfied, the contract often allows cancellation without penalty or adjustments to terms. The parties may negotiate extensions, repairs, or credits. Without valid contingencies, there could be legal exposure for either side.
Closing timelines vary but typically range from 30 to 45 days in California. Delays can occur due to financing, title issues, or underwriting requirements. A well-drafted agreement helps keep milestones on track.
The title report reveals ownership history, liens, and defects. Review for any curative actions needed, such as paying off liens, resolving easements, or clear chain of title before recording.
Terms can often be renegotiated before signing or through amendments after signing, depending on the contract. Post-signature changes typically require mutual agreement in writing.
The escrow holder typically holds the deposit until closing unless the contract states otherwise. The handling of deposits depends on the terms and contingencies agreed upon.
