Purchase Contract ?????

N/A N/A

Just wondering if I'm in the right here. I saw a property that I'm interested in, I call the realtor back and give him an offer on the property with all my reasons why my price is right on. He agrees and says I'll send the papers over for the offer. In the fax I receive a contract to purchase thats half filled out by the agent/broker. This contract is indeed legally binding, says so right on the header. With it, the usual realtor disclosure forms. I'm from NYC and the property is in OH. I personally had never got myself into a contract before the offer was accepted. I couldn't even see why I would get my lawyer involved (on the watch) before an offer was even accepted, which by the way is the 1st offer. I searched around the site and came across an intent to purchase form which was right up my alley. I'm going to bring this up to the agent and try to explain to him that i'd feel a bit more comfortable submitting a form like this in lieu of his contract. I was wondering if this was a normal process for Ohio, or is this guy being the eagar beaver?
