Purchase Price
State the offered dollar amount, whether price is firm or subject to appraisal, and include any escalation clauses or contingent adjustments to avoid ambiguity during negotiation.
Using a Condo Purchase Proposal clarifies key deal terms early, reduces misunderstandings, and documents contingencies such as inspections and HOA review. It creates a record of buyer intent and timelines that can speed negotiation and protect parties if disputes arise during the pre-contract phase.
Typical users include buyers, real estate agents, lenders, and attorneys preparing or reviewing initial condominium purchase offers.
These roles collaborate to move from proposal to executed purchase agreement while managing HOA and lender requirements.
The buyer or an authorized signatory may sign the proposal. For corporate or trust buyers, an individual with legal authority (officer, manager, or trustee) must sign and state capacity. Verify signing authority to avoid later challenges to enforceability.
The seller or a duly authorized listing agent may accept the proposal; acceptance should be signed by the legal owner or by an agent with written authorization. Ensure power of attorney or corporate resolution is attached when signatory acts for an entity.
