The earliest Native Americans to inhabit the present-day state of Oklahoma were a group believed to be the ancestors of the Caddo and the Wichita people. The Panhandle tribes would later settle in the area and engage in hunting and gathering as well as trade. Francisco Vasquez Coronado was the earliest Spanish explorer to visit this land at around 1541.

The 19th century saw many Native American tribes being forced out of their ancestral homes and being taken to modern-day Oklahoma and the surrounding areas. The Choctaw was one of the first tribes that were forced from the southeastern part of the country via the historic “Trail of Tears”. Later, about 17,000 Cherokees were also relocated here which was already also occupied by the Quapaw and the Osage tribes. More Indian tribes continued to be relocated to the area, and by 1890, there were more than 30 tribes here which prompted the settlement’s name to be changed from the Choctaw Nation to the more appropriately name of the Indian Territory.

With an estimated population of about 1.5 million people Oklahoma was admitted to the Union on November 16, 1907, making it the 46th state. It covers an area of 69,869 square miles, which makes it the 20th largest US state in land area. With the nearly 4 million people that call it home, it is ranked as the 28th most populous US state. Its motto is borrowed from Latin words ‘Labor Omnia Vincit’ which translates to ‘Work conquers all’. Nicknamed the Land of the Red Man, the Sooner State, and the Native America, Okla. uses White and Green as its official colors.

Transportation routes within OKC are well connected and are served by major highways like interstates I-44, I-35 and I-40 and flight services through Will Rodgers World Airport and Wiley Post Airport. The city is also known for its various attractions such as the Myriad Botanical Gardens that has different plant species and hosts events such as Downtown in December and the Oklahoma Gardening School.

When buying or selling a house here, the real estate closing agent will typically use a Warranty Deed to convey the title of the property to the new owner. For the deed to be legally valid, the document must include the property’s exact legal description, which usually comes from language within the property’s original survey. This state primarily follows the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) methodology when surveying the properties. This state uses the Indian Meridian, which extends from Red River to the south boundary of Kansas.

If you aren’t paying cash for the home and are instead getting a loan to buy the real estate, then understand that this is primarily a title theory state. This simply means that the raw title of the property will remain in a trust until the lien is ultimately paid off. The most common document that is used here to secure the lender’s interest in the title is called a Mortgage.

If for some reason the borrower cannot repay the home loan, then the lender can typically avoid having to go through the court system. They do this by merely starting a non-judicial foreclosure which typically only takes about 186 days to complete. However, when necessary, the lender may need to instead go to court and start a more lengthy and costly judicial foreclosure. The laws that pertain to the Okla. foreclosure process are mostly found in OK Statutes in Title 46, Chapter 2A, §43.

However, if you are a landlord that needs to evict a non-paying tenant, then you would need to reference the Okla. statute of Title 41 instead. Whereas if you are looking to become a real estate agent, then you would just deal directly with the Okla. Real Estate Commission, which oversees all the licensing of the agents and most of the implementation and enforcement of the Oklahoma Real Estate Laws. Amongst other things, the main requirements to get a real estate license here would be to be at least 18 years old, complete at least 90 hours of approved OK real estate courses, successfully pass the written state exam, pass certain criminal background checks, be sponsored by a licensed Okla. real estate broker, and pay the various required licensing fees.

Renowned for its wide-open plains, mountain ranges, national parks and monuments, golf courses, diverse employment opportunities, friendly people, and abundance of fresh air, it’s no wonder why so many Okies think this state is a fantastic place to call home.
