When FourTerra identifies a property that aligns with our acquisition criteria, you can anticipate receiving a letter accompanied by a purchase agreement from our esteemed company. The commencement of our due diligence process is contingent upon the receipt of a phone call from the seller expressing their intent to proceed with the sale or the return of the signed purchase agreement.
Upon reaching this crucial juncture, we initiate the first phase of due diligence, meticulously examining the property to ascertain that foundational prerequisites are in place, facilitating a seamless progression toward acquisition.
The closing process at FourTerra is an orchestrated series of steps designed to facilitate a lawful and smooth transition of ownership for both the buyer and seller. It is imperative to acknowledge that real estate procedures are subject to variation based on jurisdiction, encompassing both state and county regulations. FourTerra consistently engages with local professionals, such as real estate attorneys and title companies, ensuring strict compliance with regional statutes. Presented below is an overarching outline of our title closing process for land:
1. Purchase Agreement:
- Acquire a signed purchase agreement delineating the general terms and conditions of the sale, inclusive of the purchase price, closing date, and any contingencies.
2. Title Search:

- Address any outstanding issues that may potentially impact the title.
3. Escrow Account:
- Establish an escrow account in collaboration with a neutral third party, such as a reputable title company or attorney, tasked with safeguarding funds and pertinent documents until the closing process concludes.
4. Title Insurance:
