Having you sign the Buyer's Rep Agreement is how we trade.  

Many Sellers feel stuck, because they a) don’t want to pay the tax and b) don’t want to do a 1031 exchange, to simply trade into yet another responsibility.

Marriage has a legal means of dissolving and splitting assets & liabilities, called divorce.Since you are not married, you have no legal means of dissolving your relationship other than an ugly court battle.Suggest you two have a Partnership Agreement drawn up and executed, to cover how any joint assets and liabilities will be split.BTW: sooooo many people don't think they have to worry about this.

@Dave E. thanks for your input brother!

Check out this section from IRS.gov:People such as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, lawyers, accountants, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers, or auctioneers who are in an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the general public are generally independent contractors.

A better way to answer his question may have been something like this "Once our contract is executed with the end buyer, their earnest money funds will be deposited with the title company and held in their escrow account."

@Edward E Ashley Welcome to BP.

This creates an awesome culture and solid partners to execute deals.

Likewise, I don't know how to execute the administrative paperwork.
