Explanation

In Oregon, ownership of real property is transferred by delivery of a deed — typically a warranty deed (or bargain and sale deed) signed by the grantor (seller). The deed is prepared, signed, notarized, and then recorded with the county after closing. The purchase agreement creates the obligation to transfer title; the deed is the instrument that actually transfers ownership.
