A real estate transaction is a written or spoken agreement to transfer property rights from seller to buyer, supported by documents like the purchase agreement, disclosures, and deed.
Our role is to explain your options, identify risks, and coordinate steps from offer through closing.
In California, a real estate transaction involves negotiating terms, obtaining title insurance, resolving conditions, and ensuring all paperwork complies with state and local law.
Key steps include making an offer, obtaining inspections and disclosures, reviewing title, arranging financing, and completing the closing with proper recording.
