The Step-by-Step Acquisition Process
The transaction lifecycle for purchasing domestic property differs significantly from overseas real estate acquisitions. Understanding every milestone ensures a smooth closing.
1. Pre-Approval & Financial Verification
Domestic transactions begin with standard pre-approval letters from accredited domestic mortgage institutions. Foreign buyers must undergo FIRPTA verification, international wire checks, and strict anti-money laundering (AML) compliance documentation.
2. Title Search & Escrow Closing
Domestic purchases use established title insurance companies and bonded escrow officers to guarantee clear title ownership before closing.
