There are a number of steps that go into real estate purchase transactions in California. Whether you are a first time buyer or a seasoned investor, it is important to understand the purchase and sale process. You should also understand when you will need a lawyer to review documents and guide you through the process of buying or selling a home, apartment building, condominium, commercial property or industrial property. You cannot depend on a real estate agent or broker to assist you with every aspect of your purchase or sale because the law prohibits them from giving you legal advice. As experienced real estate attorneys, we will help you with all of these critical steps in the real estate sales process.
