Important terms and concepts commonly used in commercial property sales, including escrow, title, due diligence, and financing.
Escrow is a neutral process in which a trusted third party holds funds and documents until conditions of the sale are met.
Due diligence is the period during which buyers review property records, financials, and physical condition to confirm the deal fits their objectives.
Title review ensures the property’s chain of ownership is clear and free of undisclosed liens or claims.
Contingencies are conditions that must be satisfied before a sale can close, such as financing, appraisal, or inspections.
