Our approach is to tailor terms to your goals, while protecting your interests from offer through closing.
A purchase and sale agreement is a binding contract between buyer and seller that sets forth the terms of a real estate transfer, including price, deposit, closing date, and contingencies.
Important elements include price, escrow instructions, contingencies, disclosures, title review, risk of loss, and remedies for breach; the process typically involves negotiation, drafting, review, and closing.
This glossary explains common terms used in purchase and sale agreements.
The amount the buyer agrees to pay the seller at closing.
A deposit showing the buyer’s serious intent, held in escrow until closing or default.
Conditions that must be satisfied before closing, such as financing, appraisal, and inspection.
The final step in which funds are paid and title passes to the buyer.
We help clients decide between using standardized forms, working with an attorney for review, or pursuing a tailored agreement to fit their goals.
In straightforward purchases, a concise agreement may be enough, but professional review remains wise.

A purchase and sale agreement is a binding contract outlining the terms of the real estate transfer, including price, deposit, closing date, and contingencies. It also assigns responsibilities and remedies if either party breaches the agreement.
While not required in every case, having a real estate attorney review the contract helps identify issues, clarify terms, and ensure compliance with California law. An attorney can provide recommendations during negotiations.
Typical contingencies include financing, appraisal, and inspection. Custom contingencies may address termite reports, HOA documents, or repairs, depending on the property and goals.
If a buyer defaults, remedies may include termination of the contract, forfeiture of deposits, or specific performance where permitted by law, subject to contract terms.
California requires disclosures such as transfer disclosures, natural hazard, and lead-based paint where applicable. Your attorney can ensure all required disclosures are included.
Closing timelines vary but typically range from 30 to 60 days after contract execution, depending on escrow and lender requirements.
Breach of contract can allow termination or damages, depending on terms and whether contingencies were met. Always consult with an attorney before terminating.
Costs can include drafting, review, and negotiation services, along with any required filings, title searches, and escrow coordination.
Title issues can complicate closing; solutions include title cure, quiet title actions, or renegotiating terms to reflect the new title status.
