Once you've found your dream home or investment property, it's time to open escrow. This involves submitting an offer to purchase and depositing earnest money into an escrow account. Our experienced team at Parkview Real Estate will guide you through this process, ensuring all necessary documentation is properly prepared.

After opening escrow, it's crucial to thoroughly review the purchase contract. Our team will carefully analyze the terms and conditions to identify any potential issues or concerns. We'll work closely with you to address them and negotiate necessary amendments, protecting your interests throughout the transaction.
Step 3: Property Inspections
Conducting property inspections is a crucial step in the escrow process.

Obtaining financing is a major component of any real estate transaction. Parkview Real Estate will assist you in securing the necessary financing and guide you through the contingencies associated with your loan approval. Our expertise will help you navigate this complex process and ensure a successful outcome.

Performing a thorough title search is essential to confirm the property's ownership and identify any existing liens or encumbrances. Parkview Real Estate works with trusted title companies to provide comprehensive title insurance, safeguarding your investment and protecting you from any potential title issues.

Our team will carefully review these disclosures to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the property and its associated risks. We'll address any concerns and provide expert guidance throughout the review process.
Step 9: Final Walkthrough and Closing
Prior to closing, you'll have the opportunity to conduct a final walkthrough of the property.
