The Real Estate Contract

A real estate contract is a legal agreement between parties involved in the buying or selling of property. It outlines the terms of the transaction, including the sale price, payment details, and conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed. Key elements often include contingencies (like financing or inspection conditions), deadlines, and the responsibilities of each party. Once both parties sign, it becomes legally binding, ensuring that everyone follows through on their commitments. Understanding this contract is crucial to ensuring a smooth real estate transaction and protecting your interests.
