Real Estate Purchase Agreement

A Real Estate Purchase Agreement governs the sale and transfer of property ownership between buyer and seller. This playbook covers due diligence, contingencies, and closing mechanics.

Maintenance and Repairs

Why This Matters: Unbalanced or vague repair obligations lead to neglected assets or excessive costs. Well-defined responsibilities prevent disputes and costly emergency fixes.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure that structural maintenance responsibilities are clearly defined and limited to prevent unexpected costs. Include timelines for repairs to maintain property value.

If you're the Seller:

Negotiate for clear definitions of routine maintenance tasks to avoid taking on excessive responsibilities. Ensure timely reporting and repair procedures are in place.
