Executed PSA
Final executed purchase and sale agreement showing parties, property legal description, price, contingencies, and signature blocks for all contracting parties.
A professionally assembled PSA closing document minimizes title defects, supports accurate tax reporting, documents prorations and payoffs, and creates an evidentiary record for post-closing disputes; accuracy reduces recording delays and compliance risk.
Core participants prepare, review, or receive the PSA closing document at or before closing.
Each party has distinct responsibilities; clear role allocation prevents last-minute issues and recording delays.
