What is in a Sales Contract
A Sales contract is your signed offer to purchase property, complete
with your terms and price. It is important for this document to
be complete as it turns into the "Sales Contract" as soon as the
seller signs it. The terms and conditions of the contract vary depending
on the situation. However, the following information is usually
found on a legitimate Sales Contract; Items included in the sale
(Property, Appliances, Chandeliers, etc.)
- The Sale Price
- The Amount of your deposit (earnest money)
- The Amount of your down payment and loan arrangements
- The Date, Time, and Place of settlement (closing)
- The Date, Time, and Place of Occupancy
- Any other contingencies (agreed upon by both buyers and sellers)
- The Signature of the Buyer
- The Signature of the Seller
