State by state things can be quite different. Years ago my parents made a move from Massachusetts to New Hampshire. After their offer was accepted my mother kept waiting for the second step (truth be told because she was having second thoughts) that never came. And we're what they call an "attorney state" - almost always each party will have an attorney - ideally a real estate attorney. When you see the piles of documents you have to sign at the closing you realize why. Liz Hi Marte ~ So true! State by state things can be quite different.

In Idaho it's a one-step process. The buyers and their agent meet and fill out many, many pages on a purchase and sale form, which is presented to the seller. Attorneys very rarely get involved unless the closing is done at an attorney's office instead of a title company. It's no wonder that people moving from one part of the country to another tend to be confused about the process, the people involved, and even the terminology. This is so interesting!
