The Purchase Contract

An important part of being an informed buyer or seller in a real estate transaction is to understand the purchase contract.  Before you sit down with ANYONE to make a written offer to purchase a home or receive an offer on your home, you should take a look at the real estate forms used in your area.

In Athens, the REALTORS® use standard contracts, which have been approved by the local board of REALTORS® and he Georgia Association of REALTORS®. Complicated commercial properties are generally drawn up with the assistance of real estate attorneys. You will be provided a copy of the paperwork you will be signing so that you can read it at your leisure and understand all the information. Do not hesitate to ask questions about anything that you don’t understand. If any of the standard clauses do not fit your particular situation, you can discuss the wording that you would like to have changed. The key here is to familiarize yourself with the paperwork before you have found your new home.
