Purchase And Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 5, 2023

Purchase and sale agreement contingencies?

I am in the process of purchasing a home and have received a Purchase and Sale Agreement from the seller. I understand that there are contingencies that must be met in order for the agreement to be valid, but I am unclear on what these contingencies are and how they will affect the agreement. I am hoping to get some insight from a lawyer on what contingencies I should be aware of and how they could affect the agreement.

Myrna L.

Answered Sep 24, 2023

Contingencies are conditions provided in the contract that need to be met prior to performance or close of escrow. In Purchase and Sale Agreements, it is usually the buyer who negotiates for contingencies to reduce or eliminate their risks prior to close of escrow. Normally, buyer’s contingencies would include appraisal reports, property inspections, mortgages, title reports or sale of another property. More often than not, sellers do not have contingencies in Purchase and Sale Agreements because they want to sell the property in a timely manner; if seller cannot deliver the property, it may deem the property not available for sale in the first place.

Purchase And Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 7, 2023

Purchase and sale agreement and mediation?

I am in the process of selling my home and have recently received a purchase and sale agreement from the potential buyers. The agreement outlines the terms of the sale but does not include any details regarding mediation in the event of a dispute. I am interested in learning more about the role of mediation in a purchase and sale agreement and what my rights and obligations are in such a situation.

Rosemary L.

Answered Sep 12, 2023

Mediation is a voluntary process that the parties may agree to pursue in the event there is a dispute in an agreement. The parties basically agree that prior to filing suit, or entering into some other kind of process for resolution, they will mediate the dispute. It is a fairly informal process where each party presents its evidence and arguments in a dispute to the mediator, who attempts to work out an agreement between the parties. If it does not result in an agreement, the parties may then go ahead and choose to go to court to reach a resolution of their dispute.

You will need an attorney to advise you, as such, you will need to post your project on the website Here are the steps you need to take to accomplish this 1. Post the job you need to get accomplished – for example “ I am looking for a California attorney to assist me in the sale of my property and to help me get the county to approve the sale -------------“ 2. Once posted, attorneys on the website that are interested and qualified will respond to your posting 3. Choose an attorney/s based upon their qualifications and cover letter to have a quick call so that you can decide who you would like to hire. 4.

Purchase And Sale Agreement

California

Asked on Sep 6, 2023

Closing date in a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of purchasing a property and have a Purchase and Sale Agreement in place. The agreement includes a closing date, but I am uncertain as to what the implications are if this date is not met. I am interested in understanding my rights and obligations concerning the closing date, and any risks that I could be exposed to if the date is not adhered to.

Rosemary L.

Answered Sep 12, 2023

If a closing date on a purchase agreement is not met, generally the party who has breached the agreement may not be allowed to close the transaction. Often there are penalties contained in a purchase agreement to reimburse the non-breaching party for their time, expense and fees caused by the breach of a party to fail to close on a closing date. However, if the parties are both working toward closing the sale, but certain impediments get in the way of a timely closing (such as a survey which is not completed, or a lender not having approved a loan in a timely fashion), the buyer and seller will often reach an agreement to continue the closing date to a later date. In some cases, a seller might require a buyer to pay a further amount on the deposit to insure that the buyer intends to proceed, particularly if the buyer is to forfeiet the deposit as a result of its failure to close the transaction.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
