A Purchase Agreement is a legally binding document whereby the homeowner and buyer agree to terms under which the buyer will acquire the seller’s property.
Buyers are typically responsible for expenses such as the down payment, lender and loan-related fees, title and escrow services, home inspections, and any applicable state or county filing fees.
Sellers generally cover costs related to transferring clear title to the buyer. This may include mortgage payoffs, title fees, agent commissions, and applicable state and county transfer taxes.
Closing day is the final step in the real estate transaction—when ownership of the home officially transfers from the seller to the buyer. During the closing, all required documents are reviewed and signed, including the deed and loan paperwork (if applicable). The buyer will provide any remaining funds due, often via wire transfer or cashier’s check, and the seller will receive proceeds from the sale. Once everything is signed and funds are distributed, the title company records the transaction with the county, and the buyer receives the keys to their new home!
A home warranty is a service contract that provides repair or replacement coverage for major systems and appliances in a home due to normal wear and tear. Unlike homeowners insurance, which typically covers damage from unexpected events (like fire or storms), a home warranty is designed to protect items such as HVAC systems, plumbing, electrical, kitchen appliances, and water heaters. Home warranties can offer peace of mind to both buyers and sellers—buyers are protected from unexpected repair costs in their first year of ownership, and sellers can use a warranty as a selling point during the listing period. Plans and coverage will vary, so it's important to review the policy details carefully.
Typically, the buyer will require a home inspection. A professional home inspector will thoroughly search the home for visual defects such as water damage; cracks in the walls, floors or foundation; plumbing leaks; or pest damage. The inspector also will search for hidden flaws such as asbestos insulation, electrical problems, or safety code violations. If the inspection finds areas that need to be repaired, you will negotiate with the buyer how these issues may affect the terms of the agreement.
An appraisal is an unbiased professional opinion of a property's market value, typically conducted by a licensed appraiser. It is most commonly required by a lender during the mortgage approval process to ensure the home's value supports the loan amount. The appraiser evaluates various factors, including the property's location, condition, size, and comparable recent sales in the area. An accurate appraisal helps protect both the buyer and the lender by confirming the property is worth the agreed-upon purchase price.
The title company prepares legal documents and closing statements; obtains necessary information to transfer clear title to the buyers; and receives and disburses funds. The final stage of the process occurs with the transfer of title from seller to buyer , which has been authorized through the signing of documents at closing.
