What is a Texas P&S Agreement?

A Texas purchase and sale agreement is a legal agreement between a party selling property and a party who offers to purchase the property. This contract lays out the terms and conditions relating to the sale and helps facilitate a smooth transfer of property.

When the buyer and seller execute a purchase and sale agreement, the sale is not finalized. This agreement includes contingencies that must be met and disclosures that must be provided before the sale can be finalized. The purpose of a purchase and sale agreement is to ensure that both parties are protected during this process.

Many parties choose to hire an experienced real estate attorney to draft a purchase and sale agreement. If you are wondering how much it will cost to have an attorney draft this contract, you are not alone.

What’s Included in a Texas Purchase and Sale Agreement

A Texas purchase and sales agreement will include terms and provisions that both parties must abide by between the time of executing the contract and the closing date. This period of time is known as the escrow period and usually lasts around thirty days.

Some important provisions that are included in most purchase and sale agreements include:

  3. Purchase price. The agreed upon purchase price that will be due at closing and how the payment should be made.
  4. Earnest money deposit. The amount of the deposit the buyer put down to show their intention to purchase the property. The earnest money deposit is typically held by a broker until the sale is finalized.
  5. Contingencies. Conditions that must be met to move forward with the sale. Common contingencies include financing, home inspection, and title contingencies..
  6. Disclosures. In Texas, when the property being sold is a single-family residence, the seller is required to provide the buyer with a disclosure of any material defects that affect the property.
  7. Closing date. The agreed-upon date for closing the transaction. At this time, money will be transferred to the seller and the property title will be transferred to the buyer.
  8. Signatures. This contract requires the signatures of the buyer and seller, as well as any witnesses or real estate agents involved in the transaction.

How Do Lawyers in Texas Charge for Purchase and Sale Agreements?

Texas real estate lawyers typically bill clients using an hourly rate fee agreement. Under this rate structure, the attorney will keep track of their time working on a case and after closing, bill their client for the total number of hours.

Real estate transactions can be unpredictable, and delays are common. By charging an hourly rate, the lawyer can ensure that they are compensated for all of their work.

ContractsCounsel’s marketplace data shows the average hourly rate for a real estate lawyer in Texas ranges from $200 - $350 per hour.

Flat Fee Rates for Purchase and Sale Agreements in Texas

When a lawyer is hired for a specific task, like reviewing a purchase and sale agreement, they may choose to bill their client using a flat fee rate. The lawyer will estimate the length the project will take to complete then quote one price for all legal services. If the client agrees, they will pay the fee upfront and the lawyer will complete the project.

It is important that a client asks the attorney what is covered in the flat rate. Additional charges could arise from client meetings, communications, or revisions that are not included in the flat rate.

ContractsCounsel’s marketplace data shows the average flat fee rate for a purchase and sale agreement in Texas is $400.00.
