Real Estate Transaction Process
This class is designed to teach students about the transaction process for three different common real estate transaction types – (1) purchase and sale, (2) lease and (3) loan. The class begins by identifying the typical stages of a real estate transaction and explaining how those stages vary depending upon the type of real estate transaction. The course then describes the transaction process and the specific stages of each of a purchase and sale, loan, and lease transaction. Next, the class defines what the “closing” is in each type of real estate transaction and the specific types of documents that should be listed on a closing checklist. The course then reviews the role of a junior attorney in each of the various transaction processes, including the closing stage. The class then discusses the items that may need to be completed or monitored after the transaction has closed.
Training courses associates and partners love and law firms need.
