California Real Estate Law 101:
What Every Buyer and Seller Should Know
Buying or selling a home in California involves more than just signing
papers—you need to understand key real estate laws to protect your interests.
Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, an investor, or a seller, knowing the
basics can save you from costly mistakes.
Key Laws to Keep in Mind
- Disclosure Laws – Sellers must
provide a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) outlining any known
property defects. Transparency is key to avoiding legal disputes.
- Contingency
Periods – Buyers typically have time to inspect the property, secure
financing, and review reports. Knowing your deadlines is crucial.
- Title &
Ownership – Ensure the title is clear of liens and legal issues before
purchasing. Title insurance is a must.
- Rent Control
& Eviction Protections – If you're investing in rental
properties, be aware of California’s tenant protection laws.
Real estate transactions are complex, and having an experienced
professional by your side makes all the difference.
