III. FORM DESCRIPTIONS 1. Offer to Purchase Reeal sstate This form is in effect an invitation to enter into a full-scale sale/purchase contract, and is sometimes used by purchasers to show defnite interest by virtue of a written statement. The Offer to Purchase form is only used by prospective purchasers, not by sellers. Its use is completely optional, and may be skipped altogether in favor of submitting a proper Contract to the seller as the frst step in the negotiation process. This form is not a binding contract, because it states that any agreement is contingent upon approval and signing by the parties of a Contract for Purchase 0i.e., a detailed sale/purchase contract). Important terms and conditions acceptable to the purchaser are outlined in the Offer to Purchase form. The seller normally responds to this type of offer by presenting the prospective purchaser with a detailed, full-scale contract like the Contract for the Sale and Purchase of Reeal sstate contained in this package. 2. Contract of Sale The Contract for the Sale and Purchase of Reeal sstate 0“the Contract”) is the central legal document through which Buyer and Seller 0“the Parties”) agree upon the terms and conditions of the property sale. Because real estate sales are relatively complex and important transactions, state law requires a written, signed contract for such transactions to be enforceable. This legal requirement is rooted in the practical reality that with so many details involved in the typical home sale, the Parties could easily become confused and fall into disagreement over their various rights and responsibilities related to the sale. The Contract provides an organized framework within which the Parties can proceed with the sale process from beginning to end without unnecessary disputes, omissions or misunderstandings. The Contract identifes the buyer0s) and seller0s), and specifes the property to be sold. Items to be taken away and/or left behind by the seller are also specifed. The all-important sale price for the property to be sold is stated, along with details of whatever fnancing the buyer needs to secure funds for the purchase. The amount of earnest money put down by the buyer is also stated, and all the costs associated with the sale of property are identifed and allocated to be paid by either seller or buyer, as agreed. - 4 - Disclosure and inspection procedures are discussed in detail. If your state has special property condition disclosure rules, they are stated here. If the buyer or the buyer’s inspector locates defects in the house, time limits and steps are set out for repair of these defects by the seller, or cancellation of the contract. In addition to the Disclosure provisions, the Contract contains detailed clauses regarding conveyance of title, pro-rationing of expenses, casualty loss, and default, among others. The Contract states that it represents the entire agreement of the parties, meaning that no “side agreements” made verbally or otherwise, will be enforceable. Agreeing to everything in writing, and having the writing be the ONLY agreement, helps avoid disagreements after closing. 3. Seller’s Property Disclosure The Seller’s Disclosure is the document used by the Seller to reveal all problems and defects in the house 0if any) and age of appliances. The Seller can thereby hopefully avoid the Buyer later claiming that the Seller concealed known defects from the Buyer. This form is typically completed by the Seller prior to listing the house for sale, and given to all potential purchasers. 4. Seller’s Property Disclaimer Use instead of Disclosure if disclaiming all knowledge of defects in the property. 5. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure The “Seller’s Disclosure of Lead-Based Paint and Lead-Based Paint Hazards” form is required by Federal law for a residential dwelling constructed prior to 1978. A Buyer of a home built prior to 1978 is notifed that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of lead poisoning. If your home was constructed in 1978 or later, this disclosure is not required. Reequirements: Before the sale contract becomes enforceable, sellers must fully comply with lead-paint disclosure law. Compliance is accomplished by: 01) Fully completing and delivering to the buyers, as an attachment to the contract, the LsAD-BASsD PAINT DISCLOSURes form 0the buyers also initial and sign this form), and 02) Giving the buyers the sPA pamphlet entitled "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home." 6. Pamphlet: “Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home” - 5 - The Seller of a dwelling constructed prior to 1978 is required by federal law to give the Buyer the above-titled pamphlet. This pamphlet explains potential lead-paint problems in homes, and how to combat them. - 6 - IV.
