TC Review for Real Estate Contract Reviews in Four Business Days

by | Aug 30, 2023 | TC Review

Buying a home is an emotional experience! The last thing most Buyers think of during the transaction is the contract. However, once signed, your transaction is likely governed by the information contained in the four corners of that signed purchase and sale agreement. Best to understand what you signed.

Real Estate Contract Review

Getting a contract review by a real estate attorney helps you understand what you signed and potentially safeguards your transaction from common problems involving legal due diligence, ambiguous language, and unreasonable timeframes, to mention just a few.

Real estate purchase and sale agreements typically memorialize the specifics of a transaction including property details, purchase price, financing terms, contract contingencies, and closing procedures. Once your offer is accepted, the purchase and sale agreement is the controlling document for the events that follow. Read your agreement closely. Make a calendar of the events called out in the contract noting triggers to performance(s) due and contingencies. Pay special attention to timeframes for inspections, financing, and appraisals.

A close read of your contract can raise more questions than it answers! The purchase or sale of real estate is complicated. With so much on the line, it makes sense to get those nagging questions answered.
