[quote=ucodegen]Would you care to share some of the results of the Googling etc with the rest before you ‘ride into the sun’… but only to the horizon?? Ie..What someone who might be considering doing the same thing, either from purchase or sale side, would need to know and where the resources are at?[/quote]
I took some notes from Treehugger but basically looked up required documents for california real estate transactions. Pulled a real estate purchase agreement form a legal website (rocketlawyer.com), also pulled the CAR purchase agreement document and made sure all bases were covered in the purchase agreement. Seller is responsible for natural hazard reports (payonline and in advance vs through escrow), wood destroying pest inspection (used antimite because they are free), Hoa transfer fees (if you have one) and I think thats it. Its up to you to determine what to pay in terms of closing but you can use zillow’s closing calculator to look at different ecrow companies to determine the costs associated with closing. Escrow really handles everything which helps.
