3) Real Estate Sales Contract
When the buyer is found, you’ll receive an “offer to purchase” from the real estate agent to negotiate the price, schedule for signing the contract, payment method, delivery schedule, and other conditions. Once the seller and the buyer come to an agreement, the sales contract will be signed.
The agreed-upon selling price, payment method and other terms will be stated clearly in the real estate sale-purchase contract.
The seller needs to notify the conditions of the property when preparing the real estate sale-purchase contract. It is essential to report the present conditions clearly and properly and have the buyer understand it fully in order to avoid any trouble throughout the property sell. It is required to deliver the property under the conditions reported to the buyer in the contract.
When both the seller and the buyer sign and thumbprint on the real estate sale-purchase contract and the buyer remits the deposit to the seller, the contract is bound. After the sales contract is closed, each party practices his/her rights and obligations in accordance with the contact. If you violate the contract, a penalty may occur. Please check and clarify with the real estate agent if you have any questions.
The seller will start to give all necessary documents to Cadastral Officer for their review to apply for “Registration of Title Transfer”.
During of the Tittle Transfer:
- A hard tittle deed usually takes about 45 to 60 working days.
- A soft tittle deed takes about 30 working days.
4) Move-out, Balance Settlement and Delivery of the Property
The property will be delivered once the remaining balance is settled. The seller needs to make sure that the property will be ready to be delivered by the balance settlement day. Please carefully reassure the borders between surrounding properties, to move out, to clear any unnecessary items from the premise and to settle any utility fees by then.
The procedures from balance settlement to delivery of the property go with the following list:
- The final confirmation of the property will be conducted at the premise in the presence of both the seller and the buyer.
- The buyer pays the remaining balance to the seller.
- As soon as the remaining balance is settled, the seller will hand all necessary documents related to property and the keys to the buyer. Then, both parties must sign on “the delivery confirmation” note and exchange a copy.
- The seller pays the commission to the real estate agent and lawyer, which completes the sales of the property.
