The transfer of a property from one party to another is one of the most common legal transactions in the United States. However, most people involved in real estate on a day to day basis don,t truly understand what happens during that process.
PropertyShark University, with the help of Professor Brian Tracz, Esq, will demystify the legal aspects of real estate transactions with our course, "From Contract to Closing." Brian Tracz has been practicing real estate law here in New York City for over 15 years.
