In California, using a standard form can be helpful, but having a real estate attorney review terms helps ensure compliance with state law and protects your interests if issues arise. A brief, focused consultation can clarify options and keep negotiations moving smoothly.
Earnest money is a deposit that shows serious intent to purchase and is held in escrow. It is typically applied toward the purchase price at closing, provided the deal proceeds. If contingencies are not met, the contract terms determine whether you can recover the funds.
Timing varies, but many California purchases close within 30 to 60 days after signing, depending on financing and inspections. Delays can occur from title issues, lender requirements, or unexpected repair needs.
Common contingencies include financing, appraisal, inspection, and title review. Clear language about timelines and remedies helps prevent misunderstandings and allows steps to proceed smoothly.
If a contract includes valid contingencies, you may terminate without penalty. Without covered contingencies or mutual agreement, backing out could have financial consequences or risk breach of contract claims.
Seller typically provides disclosures, and a attorney or agent can prepare them depending on the contract. Responsibilities can vary, so confirming who drafts disclosures is important.
