A real estate transaction is the series of legal steps that move ownership of a property from seller to buyer, including contract formation, due diligence, disclosures, financing, escrow, and recording at closing.
Core elements include a purchase agreement, title search, contingencies, disclosures, financing documentation, escrow instructions, and a final deed conveying title at closing.
Common terms you may encounter while purchasing or selling property in California.
A written proposal from the buyer outlining price, terms, and conditions under which the seller may agree to sell the property.
A neutral third party holds funds and documents during the transaction until all conditions are met and the title is transferred.
An official record showing property ownership and any liens, encumbrances, or claims affecting the title.
Conditions that must be satisfied before closing, such as financing, appraisal, and inspection results.
Options range from handling a transaction with basic forms to engaging a real estate attorney to review contracts and disclosures. We help you choose the approach that aligns with risk tolerance and goals.
