This is the starting point for negotiating the sale.This offer is negotiated to be sufficiently attractive to both parties, seller and buyer. When an agreement of all the terms and conditions (price, closing date, method of payment, the house needs improvements) is reached, is written down and signed.Once the contract for the purchase of a property has been accepted, a series of inspections and checks are typically required to satisfy buyers and lenders

6. Closing: The closing is a meeting at which the transaction was legally executed. She attends the closing agent, the buyer and seller (and their respective agents, depending on the agreement of sale).The closure consists of: Transfer the money from the buyer to the seller, to verify that the title of the property is in order and is duly registered with all local records along with any existing mortgage and make adjustments to payments and credits that apply to own and what you pay buyer.
