A typical purchase and sale of a house begins when a seller signs a brokerage contract with a real estate agent, allowing the agent to sell the home on the owner’s behalf for a period of time. When a broker finds a buyer, they often serve as an intermediary in negotiating the selling price. A binder is then usually signed subject to attorney approval and then a more formal agreement, a contract of sale, is executed. The buyer then obtains financing, the title is researched and objections are cleared, followed by a closing, where funds are exchanged and the buyer is given title to their purchase.
