The real estate purchase contract is serious business and needs to be handled properly. From both a legal and financial perspective, having a lawyer review the purchase contract can go a long way. When you sign this contract, you are committing yourself to a price, various deadlines, and important contingencies that may either save you or cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. So, having a lawyer closely review the real estate purchase agreement before you sign it is a crucial step in home ownership.
So let's get into the details of what exactly is a purchase contract and how it works. The basic definition of a purchase contract is an agreement set between the buyer and seller. Included in this agreement is price, location, and closing date of the home purchase. On top of that, there may be many contingencies in the contract that can protect both parties from potential harm due to complications before the closing date.
When a buyer and seller agree on a purchase price, then the real estate agents begin to work on the purchase contract, which may or may not need a lawyer down the road. The agents negotiate the terms and fill in the appropriate details. Once the purchase contract is sketched out, then it is time for a lawyer to review it and make sure everything is in good standing order. This review may last a few days, but it is an important few days. As a law office that reviews the purchase contract for homes and buildings, we take great pride in completing this task correctly. There are a lot of moving parts, so a thorough review is necessary.
