Cody Z. Looking for recommendation on legal services for contract
4 December 2018 | 4 replies
I believe that the Realtor contract is too long and a lawyer will put more than you need.I use a "Skinny contract" ---- here are the elements:Settlement - use "banking days" 60-90Build in an automatic "Extension" - Seller agrees to extend this contract by 25 banking days if requested -- you will always need more time - with this clause it acts as a little insurance when you run up against a settlement date that you are not ready for.Make full disclosures - if you are going to assign your contract - make sure you state that - my contingency is that if an assignee is not found before settlement - this offer is subject to cancellation.Let the seller know that you are in this deal to make profit.You could offer a "hybrid" this is nothing more than offering the seller a percentage of overage (or profit) make sure you write it as a net - not gross.
