Conclusion

Possession and ownership are quite similar in meaning but in terms of real estate, they are not the same, so as not to confuse with one another.

The Seller In Possession (SIP) document gives the advantage to the seller for closing the escrow while remaining in possession of the house for some days. This assists them in buying a new place for their house with closed escrow money from the buyer and also benefits in moving their belongings smoothly as so many things happen at the same time of closing.

“Seller in Possession” is the key document while making negotiations for the house. It is an important agreement in buying a house so the seller and buyer must be aware of it.

Giving extra days to sellers for possession may make sellers agree upon less price of the house instead of the actual one.
