I would like to purchase a piece property on a cash sale. What steps, paperwork, filings etc. do I need to take without the help of an attorney to leagally and properly secure the property?

Hi Amanda,

I would advice that your real estate attorney/legal counsel can best guide you through this process.

Hi,

I like to mention some of the common points you need to look for like, Earnest Money Agreement, Real Estate Contract, Closing, HUD-1 which itemizes the purchase price, commissions received by the realtor and attorney’s fees, Title Insurance, Real Estate Taxes, Title Search, Survey of the property.

Hope my suggestion helps.

Hi,

You should look out for a real estate agent as he is the right person to guide you as far as finding a suitable property is concerned. There there are negotiations with the seller which can be done by taking help from the agent.

The real estate agents are quite efficient in dealing with the sellers and if you can find an agent who works only for the buyer, then you may be able to purchase the property at a reasonable price.

But as far as the legal paperwork is concerned, you will have to approach a real estate attorney who will guide you regarding how to get your title insured from a title company and all related matters that go into making a fair deal.

Here's wishing you best of luck!

Thanks,

Caron.
