Home Sale Law in Ohio

Buying or selling a house can be an exciting but stressful time in a person's life. It also requires a person to make a large number of potentially life-changing financial and legal decisions.

In Parma, Ohio, it's perfectly legal for individuals to buy and sell homes without the assistance of a third party. However, this isn't the only option, and isn't always the best option, either.

Therefore, it's normally a good idea to use a real estate broker for these transactions. A real estate broker is a professional who helps people buy and sell property. They can help buyers find sellers, and vice versa. They can also handle a large percentage of the tedious details.

Some Parma, Ohio real estate brokers charge a flat fee, but most take a relatively small percentage of the sale price of a house they help a client sell.

Getting a Mortgage in Parma, Ohio

First and foremost, if a buyer asks any question of the seller relating to physical defects in the property, the seller must, under all situations, be as truthful as possible. In this case being "as truthful as possible" means answering such questions to the best of your knowledge, and making reasonable efforts to find the answers if you don't know them. Lying in this case is very bad idea, and will expose you to serious civil penalties

There are some defects which should be disclosed whether asked or not. Any defect which the seller is aware of, and the buyer can't be reasonably expected to discover before buying the house, must be disclosed.

Buyers should remember, however, that if they are not blameless in their failure to discover defects, they might not be able to recover if they sue.

Accordingly, if a buyer fails to conduct a reasonable expectation of the property, he or she cannot recover for any harm caused by defects that such an inspection would have revealed.

Life in Parma

Parma, Ohio is a city in Cuyahoga County. It is a suburb of Cleveland. It currently has a population of about 84,000 people.

Parma is located southwest of Cleveland, and directly borders the city. Parma, Ohio was founded in 1826, by settlers from New York. Parma, Ohio was named after a city in New York of the same name, and likely came from the popular fascination with classical Italian culture that existed at the time. Through the rest of the 19th century, Parma remained rural, with its economy largely based on agriculture. Parma saw an explosion in population and economic growth after World War Two, when a major exodus from cities into newly-created residential suburbs was well underway. This was fueled mostly by increased consumer purchasing power created by the economic boom, as well as apprehension about living in major cities during the Cold War.

Modernly, Parma maintains its suburban character, and is largely a bedroom community for Cleveland.
