What is a Real Estate Purchase Agreement?
A Real Estate Purchase Agreement is a legal document that buyers and sellers use to confirm their intent to transact with each other. This document does not transfer any property title. Instead, it sets out the parameters for doing so.
If you are ready to buy or sell property, you can use this Purchase Agreement to determine the obligations of both parties for the sale to occur on the closing date. It will help you determine the responsibilities of all parties involved before transferring the property in question. As a Rocket Lawyer member, you will have the option to activate Document Defense®, which allows a lawyer to help you get paid or otherwise enforce your rights.
