The seller will be the party responsible for drafting the bulk of the contract. They should take down the information of both involved parties, including their names, physical addresses, and contact information. They should also provide the names and contact information of any involved attorneys.
The contract will need to state the physical address at which the real estate exists. It will also need to list the agreed-upon purchase price of the property. The seller will receive this purchase price all at once, while the buyer will likely make payments to the bank regarding their loan.
If any appliances, furniture, or extra property are included in the sale, they should be listed in the contract. The seller should also provide proof that they have had all the required inspections and maintenance done. This might include giving copies of the inspection reports.
Before the title can be transferred, both parties will need to sign the contract. Their attorneys will also need to sign. In some states, they will be required to take the contract to the notary public in the county the property resides in. The form should be signed in front of the notary, who will then notarize that it is official.
Copies of the form should be filed with the buyer, the seller, their attorneys, and the county clerk’s office of the county that the property is inside.[pdf-embedder url=”https://cdn-prod-pdfsimpli-wpcontent.azureedge.net/pdfseoforms/pdf-20180219t134432z-001/pdf/commercial-real-estate-contract.pdf”]
