A Purchase Agreement is a contract that outlines price, terms, contingencies, and timelines for the sale. In California, disclosures and deadlines are commonly included to protect both parties. The agreement sets the framework for due diligence and the path to closing.
A title company or title insurance is recommended to protect against title defects and ensure clear ownership. Title coverage helps confirm there are no liens or encumbrances that could derail the sale.
Timelines vary by property and due diligence needs, but many retail and commercial transactions take 30 to 90 days from contract to close depending on financing and seller disclosures.
Disclosures typically include known defects, environmental conditions, leases, and service contracts. Accurate disclosures help manage risk and support a smooth closing.
Sales can proceed with tenants in place, but lease terms, tenant rights, and rent obligations must be clarified and reflected in the agreement and closing documents.
Review the rent roll, leases, maintenance agreements, and any warranties or guarantees. Check for open defaults and consistency with the sale terms.
Escrow agents are typically chosen by agreement of the parties or as specified in the purchase contract. We coordinate with the chosen escrow agent to keep the process on track.
California has specific disclosures, local permit requirements, and environmental considerations that can affect commercial deals. Compliance helps prevent post closing disputes.
At closing, documents are signed, funds are exchanged, and title is transferred. The escrow holder coordinates recording of the transfer and delivery of documents.
Attorney’s fees are governed by contract and state law. Typically each side pays its own fees, but fee shifting or prevailing party provisions may apply in certain circumstances.
