TRANSACTION FLOW

Selecting a Property

First, you will select a property or multiple properties you would like to take a look at.

We can also select properties for you according to your needs.

Showing

Here we will view actual properties. Information on each property will be provided thoroughly by the agent, along with consultation on topics such as payment methods, purchase/sales processes, schedules, inspections, etc.

Purchase Contract

When you find a property you are interested in purchasing, we will put together a purchase contract to submit to the seller. The purchase contract will reflect your offer, or the price you wish to purchase your property of interest at.

Agreement of Purchase Contract

The seller will review the purchase contract we submit. If for whatever reason they are not satisfied with the content of the contract, they will submit a counter offer that reflects their desires. Once both parties come to a consensus on the content of the sales, the property will move into an official sales procedure.

Escrow

The first step of the official sales procedure is opening a new escrow account. Once both parties come to an agreement based on the purchase contract, the agent will open an escrow account with an escrow company, where all factors concerning the purchase/sales of the property will be put into the custody to this third party for a smooth and unbiased transaction.

Payment of deposit

Please remit the initial deposit (the amount will vary depending on the property and negotiations) to escrow.

Property Inspection

A thorough inspection of the property - including aspects such as whether utilities are functioning properly, or if there are any damages to the property - will be conducted by a professional inspector.

Reviewing Documents on Property

We will review all information regarding the property, including condominium documents and survey maps.

Additional Deposit

If the property inspection is completed smoothly with no major problems, the client will make a second deposit into escrow (amount will vary according to the contract).

Appraisal

If you purchase with a loan, a real estate appraisal will be necessary.

Termite Inspection

A thorough termite inspection of the property will take place.

Final Inspection

A final inspection of the property will take place, including thorough cleaning.

Deed

A notary public will accompany the buyer in notarizing all legal documents needed for closing the property.
