Get it under contract...?

[N/A N/A]

I know this may be a noobie question, but when people mention in their post that they "get the property under contract" Do you use the traditional buyer agreement form by the realtors in your network, or have you written customized ones?

Also do you find the longer forms detrimental to carrying out the deals?

Here in CA there are three such standard forms that I have hear of, one is the CAR form. Which is roughtly 8 pages (small print).

Thank you,
