</p><p>A <b>real estate transaction</b> is the process whereby rights in a unit of property (or designated real estate) are transferred between two or more parties, e.g. in the case of conveyance one party being the seller(s) and the other being the buyer(s). It can often be quite complicated due to the complexity of the property rights being transferred, the amount of money being exchanged, and government regulations. Conventions and requirements also vary considerably among different countries of the world and smaller legal entities (<a href="/wiki/Jurisdictions" class="mw-redirect" title="Jurisdictions">jurisdictions</a>). </p><p>In more abstract terms, a real estate transaction, like other <a href="/wiki/Financial_transaction" title="Financial transaction">financial transactions</a>, causes <a href="/wiki/Transaction_cost" title="Transaction cost">transaction costs</a>.

If prepared by a real estate agent on behalf of the buyer, it is generally done on pre-printed and legally-approved forms provided by the real estate broker's office. An agent representing the buyer will advise his/her client as to the value of including specific contingency clauses such as time to obtain a mortgage commitment or to arrange for inspections.</li> <li>Upon acceptance of the sales contract, the buyer opens an escrow. An escrow commonly includes a signed agreement between the two parties plus an <a href="/wiki/Earnest_payment" title="Earnest payment">earnest money payment</a> check which accompanies the offer,<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and which is generally not deposited until all parties are in agreement.
