A California Real Estate Purchase Agreement and Deposit Receipt is a legally binding document between a buyer and seller that outlines the terms and conditions of a real estate transaction in the State of California. It is used to record the sale of a home or other real estate property. This document includes information such as price, closing date, deposit amount, and other contingencies. It also contains the seller's representations and warranties. There are two types of California Real Estate Purchase Agreement and Deposit Receipt. The first is the Standard Purchase Agreement and Deposit Receipt, which is used for routine real estate transactions. This document is typically used when a buyer and seller have agreed to all the terms and conditions and are ready to move forward with the purchase. The second type is the Residential Purchase Agreement and Deposit Receipt, which is used for residential real estate transactions. This document includes additional information such as a seller's disclosure statement, which outlines any defects in the property that the seller is aware of. This document also includes the buyer's rights and obligations under the agreement. Both types of California Real Estate Purchase Agreement and Deposit Receipt are legally binding and must be signed by both parties in order for the agreement to be valid. Both documents must be filed with the county recorder's office in order to be legally enforceable.
