1. Buyer and seller come to an agreement on prices & terms 

2. We will send the seller a 1-page contract to sign via email/DocuSign.

3. Once the contract is signed, we open escrow with an local title company 

4. Title company orders a title report (report showing ownership of property, any liens, outstanding debts, etc.). Usually takes a week to receive.

5. Once the title report is received and clear of any issues, the title company prepares a settlement sheet (showing title costs and seller net proceeds).  Title and costing costs will be paid by buyer. Seller will be responsible for any/all property taxes owed and underlining mortgages/loans (if any exist). This will be deducted from seller's proceeds by the title company.

6. The title will send out closing paperwork. The deed and a few other items will need to be notarized. A title company can help coordinate with a notary, especially if you live out of state.  

7. Once everyone signs everything, the buyer wires funds to title the closing takes place, and deeds are recorded with the county recorder. Sellers can have their funds wired or fed-x to them and typically receive funds the same or the next day. 

8. Transactions are usually really smooth unless there are some unforeseen title issues.

9. The process usually takes 2-3 weeks, start to finish.
