Purchase Agreement
The principal contract with purchase price, contingencies, closing date, and conditions; must show buyer and seller names, property legal description, and execution dates to be enforceable.
A complete, well-organized package clarifies price, contingencies, and timelines for all parties, reduces back-and-forth, and supports faster underwriting and title review.
Typical participants responsible for preparing, reviewing, or receiving the package include agents, buyers, lenders, and title or escrow officers.
Accurate distribution to these parties helps prevent delays at underwriting, title clearance, and closing.
Buyers must sign offers, disclosures, and financing forms; their legal name must match government ID and lender records. Co-buyers each must sign where the document requires multiple parties, and joint obligations create shared legal responsibility for performance and funds.
The listing agent typically receives and transmits the package to the seller and coordinates counteroffers. The seller or authorized signatory must sign acceptance or counters, and any signature irregularity can delay escrow and title processes.
