A Contract for Sale of Real Estate is a document that outlines the terms of the sale of a piece of real estate. It is legally binding and typically includes information about the buyer, the seller, the property, and the agreed-upon sale price. The contract will also include any contingencies the buyer or seller has placed on the sale, such as financing or inspections. The contract must be signed by both parties in order to be valid. There are two main types of Contract for Sale of Real Estate: a Residential Real Estate Contract and a Commercial Real Estate Contract. The Residential Real Estate Contract is used for the sale of single-family homes, condominiums, duplexes, and multi-family properties. The Commercial Real Estate Contract is used for the sale of commercial properties such as office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, and industrial properties.
