Our Real Estate Process
Real Estate Protection
Throughout this process, having legal representation familiar with Charleston’s real estate laws and procedures can be crucial. They can provide guidance on contract terms, review key documents, and oversee the process to ensure that the transaction proceeds smoothly and complies with all legal requirements.
Offer and Acceptance
The process often begins with the submission of an offer to purchase real estate. Once the offer is accepted by the seller, a legally binding contract is formed.
Due Diligence and Inspections
After the contract is executed, the buyer typically has a window to conduct inspections and perform due diligence on the property to assess any potential issues.
Title Examination and Survey
The buyer’s attorney typically conducts a title examination to ensure there are no title defects, and a survey is often performed to verify property boundaries.
Financing and Appraisals
If financing is involved, the buyer works with a lender to secure a mortgage. The property is appraised to assess its fair market value.
Preparation for Closing
Both parties prepare for the closing by resolving any outstanding issues, ensuring all terms of the contract are met, and confirming that the property is ready for transfer.
Closing
The final stage involves the transfer of the property from the seller to the buyer. This includes the exchange of funds, signing of legal documents, and the formal transfer of the property deed.
