Using state contract when flipping a house

Sharad Peterson

Posted

Hi everyone, I’m an agent in the Maryland market and I’ve found an off market deal that I’d like to flip in Georgia. 
I’d like to know if I can use my own contract or am I required to use Georgia state contract to lock the house up since I’m a licensed agent (albeit in Maryland). 
I want to use my own contract as it’s much easier to walk the seller through. 
Any feedback?

@Sharad Peterson, I'm not a real estate attorney, but to my understanding, you should be fine using your preferred contract. A valid real estate purchase and sale contract need to have the following elements; written instrument, names of all parties, legal description of the property, purchase price, closing date, etc. Hope this helps!
