Home Buyers >> The Purchase Contract

When you've made the decision to purchase a particular property, your RE/MAX Real Estate Professional will assist you in presenting an offer to the seller. Your offer to buy involves submitting a signed real estate contract that specifically states the terms and conditions upon which you would like to purchase the property. Your offer will generally be accompanied with a good faith deposit check for the seller.

Depending upon the area in which you are located, this offer may be known as an offer to purchase, a contract to purchase, a contract of sale, and earnest money agreement, a deposit receipt, or perhaps another variation.

The seller may accept your offer as presented, or employ the option to "counter" your offer with slightly different terms, price, financing, or other conditions. more...
