Certified Property Documentation Translation
A real estate transaction is an agreement to buy a property. They are slightly different for residential and commercial but both are for the benefit of buyers, sellers and lenders.
The agreement lists the buyer, seller and any other parties involved like a lender or escrow agent. It also includes a description of the property which is usually from a title search and may reference a deed or land survey. For commercial properties additional info like zoning and variances may also be included.
Purchase price and payment terms are outlined including price, earnest money and method of payment – cash, real estate mortgage or seller financing. The agreement often includes contingencies that must be met for the sale to go through. Examples of this are a home inspection contingency which allows residential buyers to inspect the property for structural or mechanical issues, an appraisal contingency which ensures the property value matches or exceeds the loan amount and a financing contingency which makes the agreement conditional on the buyer getting financing.
Closing and escrow details in the agreement explains how much money is involved, what it’s for, when it’s due and how it will be sent through escrow. It may also include title insurance that will insure against known liens or title ownership issues.
Property condition must be disclosed especially in residential sales where a disclosure form outlines any known issues. In commercial transactions buyers may request additional documentation such as zoning certificates, building permits or a Certificate of Occupancy to comply with local regulations.
The agreement outlines the earnest money deposit amount and under what conditions it can be returned. In commercial sales the deposit is usually higher since the property is worth more. The document also covers rights and restrictions. For residential properties this may include HOA fees or equity calculations, for commercial agreements it may cover zoning changes, preemptive rights or existing lease agreements tied to the property.
Ownership is a big part of the agreement, the seller must provide clear ownership via a deed, verified through a title search. Provisions for default and termination outlines what happens if either party fails to perform, including contract rescission or forfeiture of deposits.
Commercial sale agreements are more complex and include lease assignments, building regularization or variances. They may include income potential such as rental agreements or development rights. They take longer to negotiate and involve a due diligence process that looks into zoning, environmental studies and floor plans.
The final step is closing. During this process funds are transferred through escrow, a final deed is signed and recorded and all closing costs and HOA fees are paid. Whether residential or commercial properties property sale agreements are written to comply with state and federal laws and protect all parties.
