When dealing with agents whom I don't know and/or aren't aware of the Seller's motivation, I always take the time to write a contract and deliver it with a note highlighting the benefits of my offer.On the other hand, when representing a residential Seller I instruct all parties submitting offers to use a contract. .

As a real estate entrepreneur, you should never stop learning. 

The listing agent will usually have instructions available and may be willing to refer you to someone who can help you with the contract.If it's not listed with a real estate professional, you should contact the attorney handling the probate sale to see if they have special requirements regarding contract forms etc.There is no hard and fast rule that the PPA-CA must be used.

There are a lot more instructions you have tell them with that.  

Thanks for your advice sir, and I will definitely will follow the instructions given.

I was buying in my own name and was going directly off the instructions on the HUD Instructions to Buyer page. 

Work with insurance company to gain appropriate coverage (Can you recommend a good post with instructions to follow and company I can use, do you recommend I use one of the self-serve legal sites instead of using an expensive legal firm).

Still it's nice to have a blueprint.I followed his advice to download a list of cash buyers and used his instructions to process the list.

As you begin to gain trust with the agent you can sign for longer terms but you should also instruct them that you are working with different agents.
