What the Revised Real Estate Purchase Agreement Is

The Revised Real Estate Purchase Agreement is a standardized contract that records the material terms of a real property sale between a buyer and seller. It sets the purchase price, earnest money deposit, financing contingencies, inspection and disclosure obligations, title and survey requirements, closing date, prorations, and possession terms. This revised version includes modernized language for electronic execution, optional remote notarization where state law permits, and clearer assignment and remedy clauses. Parties should confirm state disclosure and recording rules before finalizing the agreement.
