Real Estate Transaction Process
Class Content
Overview
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.
