First offer contract, do I need an attorney?
Hello BP,
I'm making my very first long-distance offer on a property using an agent. He has sent over a very long purchase contract. I read it once and will have to re-read it a couple of times. But noticed nothing outstanding. Is there anything I should be looking out for?
For my contingencies, I put, " contingent on the results of the inspection, ability to get financing, and appraisal." Do I need to be more specific with my wording?
