Urgent! Need a GA purchase and sale contract template ASAP!

Does anyone have a purchase and sale contract template they can send me?

I've asked before, but now I am in a time-sensitive situation.  I have a handshake agreement with a close friend to buy his house.  By cutting out a realtor, he would be saving $10k in fees.  We will close with my attorney, but they are asking for $1k just to make a formal contract, probably not worth it, since I am familiar and comfortable with all the key terms.

Curt is correct. Your closing attorney should have something you could use for cheap or free. Absolutely no reason for an attorney to write up the contract for you if it is just a standard residential transaction. 

Either that or just go to any office supply store and pick one up for a few bucks. My attorney will start processing anything that says someone is willing to sell me their house -- so long as it has a name, address, signature, and the word "sell" on it somewhere -- because the only paperwork that matters in the end is the closing documents. Of course, if the deal starts to go south and disputes arise then that is where a good contract comes into play.
