Standard Real Estate Purchase and Sales Agreement

In this article, I've included a Standard Purchase and Sales Agreement as a model for property deals. You can use this form as-is or modify it to meet your needs. As you can see, it's simple and easy to fill out.

In many cases, a HUD-1 (Housing and Urban Development) will also need to be completed. This is a statement that breaks down all of the financial numbers between the transactions. The statement is used for all real estate transactions whether it is a commercial property or residential property. It breaks down how much the buyer is paying for the house, closing costs, how much the sellers are selling for, closing costs, how much in tax probations if there are any, and then how much cash the buyer needs to bring to the table or receive from the table, and how much cash the seller will bring to the table and receive from the closing. I haven't included an example of a HUD-1 settlement statement because they're easily available for download from the Internet.
