Real Estate Contract Law in Massachusetts
The law in Massachusetts states that a real estate sale contract shall be in writing to memorialize the deal for the purchase or sale of your home. Scott C. Crabtree understands Massachusetts real estate contract laws and makes sure that the sales contract protects your interests because once the contract has been agreed to and signed by the buyer and seller, it is binding between the parties involved.
Our firm ensures that your sales contract includes all of the pertinent information:
- Identification of the buyer and seller
- Description of the property
- Insurance
- Mortgage contingency
- Amount of the deposit
- Purchase price
Our firm negotiates your sales contract. Once the buyer makes an offer to buy a home, the seller makes a counteroffer, which often include these items:
- A higher purchase price
- A higher deposit
- A shorter time period to remove contingencies
- Exclusion of certain items from the sale
- A requirement that the seller move in time to vacate the house after the sale is closed
- A clause making it a contingency that your attorney approve the contract
- A liquidated damages clause that sets forth how much money the buyer will owe the seller if the buyer backs out of the deal for reasons other than the contingencies detailed in the contract
