Real estate purchase transactions may appear straightforward, but they can quickly become complex. This course guides you through a basic residential purchase of a resale house or condo, step by step, with a focus on the lawyer’s critical role in ensuring a smooth transaction. You'll gain insight into the legal process, from reviewing the agreement of purchase and sale to closing the deal, while understanding how to protect your client’s interests.

The program addresses common issues that may arise and explores their implications for the purchaser—and in some cases, the seller. Key topics include tax concerns, ethical constraints, conflicts of interest, timing, and legal procedures. The course also provides hands-on learning through review of a title abstract and a practical issue-spotting exercise, helping you develop the ability to offer well-rounded, 360-degree advice to your clients.
