| description | Generates structured summaries of real estate transactions from purchase agreements, addenda, disclosures, financing documents, title commitments, and closing documents.

Use when summarizing a real estate deal end-to-end, creating a transaction overview, onboarding to a new matter, preparing a closing checklist, or assembling a due-diligence package. Covers residential and commercial; for agreement-only summaries prepared for title closers, defer to purchase-agreement-summary. |

Real Estate Transaction Summary
Produces a structured, self-contained overview of a real estate transaction — purchase agreement plus closing documents, financing, title, and disclosures — so the reader does not need to consult underlying documents for material terms.

Scope boundary against purchase-agreement-summary: Use purchase-agreement-summary when the deliverable scope is the executed agreement plus addenda only, prepared for a title closer or processor. Use this skill when the scope spans the whole transaction — purchase agreement plus closing documents, financing, title, and disclosures, prepared for an attorney or matter team.

Checkpoint A: pre-summary intake (mandatory)
Confirm before drafting:
- Residential or commercial. The 13-section outline applies to both, but emphasis shifts. See
references/SECTION-OUTLINE.md "Residential vs commercial — section deltas."
- Jurisdiction. State (and county/municipality if relevant). Drives transfer taxes, disclosures, statutory cancellation rights, attorney-closing rules.
- Document inventory. Purchase agreement and all amendments? Addenda? Disclosures? Title commitment and any updates? Financing documents (note, mortgage / deed of trust, riders)? Closing Disclosure or ALTA Settlement Statement? HOA estoppel? Survey?
