Buyer Beware! Do yourself the biggest favor you could do for yourself with your first home purchase....get a Realtor to represent you. If it seems to good to be true...it probably is. The seller pays yoyr Realtor.....and not using one will ultimately cost you. Good luck!

I agree with Marie, UNLESS the title can be transferred in your name at closing. You need a real estate agent involved there are many people out there who are scamming others "innocent targets". In order to purchase a home more than likely you need to be qualified for a home mortgage.

Liz Pendens means there is a lawsuit pending which brings the title under question. This means that the title is not free and clear and may not be legally transferred to a new owner. Please be very careful about getting into a property where the title cannot be transferred to you.
One of the services realtors provide is making sure the title company does the title check and clears it before closiing; perhaps even before you make an offer. Most title companies also offer title insurance. Be sure you have this so that if a cloud is found on the title later, the title company will take care of fixing it.
