Matering Real Estate Transactions | Essential Legal Tips

Andy Schildhorn • April 26, 2024

πŸ‘‹ Today, we're discussing the crucial legal aspects of buying or selling a property. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced seller, these tips will help you confidently navigate the complexities.

 

πŸ“œ Contracts: Every deal starts with a contract. I ensure all terms are clear and documented to prevent any confusion. Remember, everything needs to be in writing to avoid disputes later.

 

⚠️ Avoid Disputes: We clearly list which appliances or fixtures are included or excluded to prevent misunderstandings and disputes after the sale. It's essential to ensure both parties have the same expectations.

 

πŸ” Disclosures: Full transparency is key for sellers and buyers. Sellers must disclose any known issues with the property. Buyers, these disclosures are for your protection—review them carefully.

 

πŸ”Ž Title Searches: Essential in real estate transactions, title searches confirm the seller's ownership and uncover any issues like easements and covenants that might affect your use of the property.

 

🌟 Navigating the real estate market can be complex, but let my 30 years of experience work for you. I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Contact me for a seamless transaction backed by professional expertise and local knowledge.

If you’re selling, pricing for today’s reality — not last year’s memory — is key. After seven months of price declines, the market is recalibrating — not crashing. With realistic pricing and a clear plan, opportunities are still out there.
