A Purchase and Sale Agreement is a contract that sets the terms for the transfer of property, including price, property description, and completion steps. It outlines what each party must do and by when, helping to prevent misunderstandings as the deal progresses.
While not always required, having a lawyer review your PSA strengthens your position and clarifies rights and remedies. An attorney can spot hidden risks and suggest protective language tailored to your situation.
Costs can include title search, recording fees, escrow charges, and possible inspections or disclosures. A clear PSA helps you anticipate these expenses and plan accordingly.
If a contingency cannot be satisfied, the contract usually allows for remedies such as termination or renegotiation. An attorney can advise on next steps and preserve your options.
Closing timelines vary by transaction, but typical California closings occur within 30 to 60 days after an agreement is signed, depending on contingencies and lender timing.
Disclosures should cover known defects, hazards, and other material facts affecting value or desirability. Properly drafted disclosures reduce later surprises and disputes.
Earnest money shows serious intent and is usually held in escrow until closing. The PSA should specify how and when the funds are applied or refunded.
In some cases you can back out under specific contingencies, timeframes, or mutual agreement. Review the contract for applicable withdrawal rights and deadlines.
Title issues may require cure or alternative terms. An attorney can help negotiate solutions and update the PSA to reflect the reality of the title status.
