Understanding the Process
Buying or selling a home is an exciting but challenging process. I am here to help ensure that it goes as smoothly as possible. Typically you will work with an agent to submit or receive an offer on the property.
If you are preparing to buy or sell a home, I can assist you in the real estate planning process. This includes drafting a purchase agreement, preparing your closing documents to execute your sale, and planning to minimize or eliminate capital gains tax on your real estate transactions.
Know the Facts About Real Estate in Iowa
Real Estate Law, also known as property law, real estate law pertains to the laws regarding buying, using, and selling land. It also covers what people can and cannot do with the property once they own it. The term “real estate” comes from the literal terms of this area of the law, meaning it regards real land as opposed to personal property which is objects. Real estate law covers many things like deeds, titles, zoning, and taxes.
I will help you by:
- Reviewing the purchase agreement to ensure the terms reflect your expectations of the agreement and to point out any potential red flags you may not have considered
- Evaluating property titles to make sure they are clean
- Preparing a “real estate closing” to complete the transaction process and assist with the sale, disbursement of funds, and transfer of documents
