Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreements
The purchase agreement defines everything that follows: price, contingencies, disclosures, timelines, and what happens when something goes wrong. We review and negotiate agreements for buyers and sellers so the terms reflect your intentions and protect your position before you sign.
How We Help
Focused, Practical Counsel
Contract review before you commit
Every term reviewed with your objectives and risk tolerance in mind, from contingencies and deposit terms to closing mechanics.
Disclosure guidance
California imposes significant disclosure obligations. We help sellers meet them and help buyers evaluate what has, and has not, been disclosed.
When deals go sideways
If a transaction stalls or a party will not perform, we advise on remedies, from negotiated resolution to enforcement.
Common Question
Worth Knowing
Do buyers or sellers need their own attorney in California?
Most transactions close without one, but agents cannot give legal advice. When significant money, unusual terms, or early warning signs are involved, focused legal review is inexpensive insurance.
General information only, not legal advice. Every matter depends on its facts.
