The Florida Realtors As Is Contract is a standardized legal contract used in residential real estate transactions throughout Florida. It serves as a comprehensive agreement between a buyer and seller regarding the sale of property in its existing condition.
The original sale agreement is typically kept by the buyer, while the seller retains a copy. Both parties should ensure they have valid copies for legal reference.
A simple sale agreement can be structured as follows: Title the document appropriately. List all parties involved in the agreement. Detail the product or service, including all rights, warranties, and limitations. Specify the duration of the contract and any important deadlines.
Well, the good thing about the Standard Florida Real Estate Contract and the AS-IS Florida Real Estate Contract is that both were written by Florida Attorneys. So, really, any buyer, seller, or attorney can “fill in the blanks.” Disclosure – I am not a real estate attorney.
