There are few experiences in life that bring out as many emotions as purchasing a home. It’s always exciting to be getting a fresh start, and creating some new experiences with your family. However, a lot of things have to come together before they put the keys to your new home in your hand. Between shopping for a home, making the offer, and getting prepared for closing, it can be quite an involved process!
Buying or selling a home isn’t exactly a deal that you can close with a cup of coffee and a handshake. The property has to be inspected, financing (if applicable) has to be secured, and often there are several additional issues to be resolved and documents to be drafted, executed, and recorded. Choosing the right property is often a lengthy and challenging process, but once the property is under contract, much work remains to be done!
Buying or selling a home or an investment property is a very detailed transaction that involves a lot of different professionals, including realtors, lenders, and title and closing agents. Unfortunately, an increasing amount of title research and other title responsibilities is being shipped overseas so that large corporations can create more value for their shareholders by saving on labor costs.
