An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances –such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time.
The FAR/BAR “AS IS” and Standard contracts are comprehensive and simplified agreements that contain all the pertinent provisions typically agreed upon in residential real estate agreements in Florida.
Real estate installment contracts are a financing option that allows for periodic payments instead of a lump sum payment. Also known as a land contract, contract for deed, or contract for sale in the real estate industry.
The creation of a valid contract in Florida generally requires: (a) an offer; (b) the acceptance of the offer; (3) consideration i.e., a bargained-for exchange; (4) reasonably certain terms of the agreement; and (5) capacity of each party to enter into a contract.

There are three elements that must be present for a contract to exist: offer, acceptance and consideration. The first step to a contract is an offer. An offer is a written or spoken statement by one of his or her intention to be held to a commitment upon acceptance of the offer.
