Offer to Purchase Real Estate
Review List
This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. This is a standard offer to purchase real estate. Be sure to modify the terms to satisfy your interests.
- Make multiple copies. Give one to each signatory. Keep one with the transaction file.
- This is sufficient to close the transaction. There is no need, unless you choose, to formalize this into a purchase and sale agreement. In fact, avoiding another “go round” can prevent the other side from another bite at the apple, so to speak.
