Agreement To Sell Real Estate

Georgia

Asked on Mar 28, 2022

buying a vacant city lot with a quitclaim deed?

hello, i am looking to purchase a vacant city lot in savannah, georgia. it was taken by the city for taxes in 1968 and sold to the current buyers in 1986. seller will only give a quitclaim deed. once i purchase the lot what is the process and cost to get title insurance? regards paul

Meghan T.

Answered Mar 29, 2022

Paul, Please, please, please purchase the title insurance before purchasing the lot (if possible). This will protect you in the event of any title defects. It is normal for the owner of a lot to prefer to transfer the property via quitclaim deed, especially if the property was obtained via a tax sale. However, it may be extremely helpful to determine, in advance, if there are any title defects which need to be addressed. Are you under contract to sell the property? Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Thanks, Meghan K Thomas

Residential Lease Agreement

Ohio

Asked on Sep 10, 2023

Security deposits in residential lease agreement?

I recently signed a residential lease agreement for an apartment. I was informed that I would need to pay a security deposit as part of the agreement. I am trying to understand what the security deposit covers and what happens to the deposit at the end of the lease agreement. I want to make sure I am fully aware of my rights and obligations regarding this security deposit.

Georgie A.

Answered Sep 15, 2023

A security deposit in a residential lease serves the following key purposes: 1. Property Protection: It covers damage or excessive wear and tear to the rental property during the tenant's stay. 2. Rent Arrears: It can be used to cover unpaid rent or other financial obligations if the tenant fails to pay rent. 3. Tenant Responsibility: It encourages tenants to take care of the property and fulfill lease obligations. 4. Landlord's Peace of Mind: It acts as insurance for landlords against potential losses. 5. Legal Compliance: Landlords must follow specific laws for holding and returning deposits. 6. Tenant Refund: Tenants get the deposit back if they meet lease terms, encouraging compliance. 7. Understanding deposit terms and local regulations is crucial to prevent disputes.

Property Deed

Tennessee

Asked on Aug 14, 2021

Can a grantor of a filed quit claim deed sell a home without the grantees signature, or consent?

Parent signed quit claim deed over to son and it has been filed. Parent is now threatening to sell property and not give any proceeds to son who is grantee on quit claim deed. Is this even possible, legally?

Forest H.

Answered Sep 28, 2021

The quick answer is likely no. If someone has executed and filed a quitclaim deed, they have no interest left to sell. Any buyer is going to review title to the property and not accept deed from the parent.

Agreement To Sell Real Estate

Pennsylvania

Asked on Oct 29, 2023

Acceptance of residential Real Estate Offer in Pennsylvania

Selling Agent told our Buyers Agent (i am buyer) that there was another buyer, that they would do highest & best / Best and Final offers by Sat NOON time. We provided our best and final offer by Sat at NOON. Sunday approx. 3PM the sellers agent told our buyers agent that the sellers have selected your buyers offer, it was due to removing the inspection contingency and being within 5K of the other bidder, we were very excited. We do not have a conter-signed PA real estate contract, we have an email note from the seller's agent representing the seller to our buyers agent indicating the the seller has accepted your buyers offer. My Question: the acceptance was in writing (email) and signed by sender of email - Sellers agent, specifically indicating they accepted our offer which was signed and in writing. Subsequently the sellers agent indicated when they did not sign our offer, that since they had not signed and had not signed the specific contract, that they were accepting a 2nd offer at a higher price. Any hope of wining based on the acceptance of our offer was first, it was in writing (email) and signed by sellers agent?

Angela H.

Answered Nov 7, 2023

The agent’s email will not be enough. You will need the agreement signed by the sellers, as they are the contracting party.

Purchase And Sale Agreement

Washington

Asked on Sep 9, 2023

Earnest money in a purchase and sale agreement?

I am in the process of buying a house and have been presented with a purchase and sale agreement. I am confused about the earnest money portion of the agreement and would like to understand what it means and how it will affect the transaction. I am particularly interested in knowing what happens to the earnest money if either party decides to back out of the agreement.

Merry A.

Answered Sep 12, 2023

Good morning. I am a WA State attorney, and I have reviewed numerous purchase and sale agreements (PSA), and have bought and sold numerous pieces of property in WA and CO. You are wise to ask this question. Since you are the buyer, normally your buyer's real estate agent would prepare the PSA for you to use, after discussing with you. Since you said a PSA "was presented to you" I"m wondering whether you are buying a new home from a building contractor. In any event, the purpose to an earnest money payment is to hold the home for you and let the seller know you are interested. In most cases, however, the seller can keep your whole earnest money payment if you back out of a purchase for reasons that are not protected in the PSA. For example, if you write your offer contingent on your subjective approval of an inspection report, or write your offer contingent on obtaining financing at terms you approve of, either one of these terms can get you out of the contract and also have your earnest money returned to you. There should be language in the PSA that clearly states what happens to the earnest money and how much earnest money you are providing. I hope that that is helpful. If you continue to have questions, I urge you to have an attorney review any and all documents, including those for loans, prior to signing anything.

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.
