Real estate contracts commonly include the following information: Parties involved: The names and contact information of the buyer(s) and seller(s). Property description: A detailed description of the property, including its address, legal description, and any specific features.
Real property: Real estate, land, and things permanently attached to it, such as houses. Residue or residuary estate: All property subject to a will that isn't given away specifically in the will.
