Review legal documents: Understand all the legal aspects involved in the purchase, including the sales contract, property title, and any applicable zoning regulations or homeowner’s association rules. Consider hiring a real estate attorney to review the documents and ensure a smooth transaction.

Negotiate the price: Don’t be afraid to negotiate the price based on market conditions, property conditions, and comparable sales. Work with your real estate agent to come up with a reasonable offer and negotiate terms that are favorable to you.
