A real estate transaction is the process that occurs when a seller offers their home for sale, and a buyer agrees to purchase that property. There are many steps involved in buying a house, and the steps vary depending on the type of transaction and state regulations.
A commercial property transaction is similar to a residential property transaction. Both have purchase agreements that determine how the purchase process will run, and both typically allow periods of time for the buyer to conduct a thorough investigation of the property.
