In most cases, a seller recruits a real estate agent to create a purchase agreement. However, a homeowner may sometimes choose to represent themselves in the transaction without the help of a real estate agent. This is known as a FSBO (For Sale By Owner) situation. If you choose to move forward with the sale, you will be tasked with outlining a purchase agreement with terms and conditions on the sale. Fees are included in the creation of a purchase agreement, but they may be included in the commission fee of the seller. See our fee schedule for more information.
While a firm handshake may have been sufficient in the past to seal a business deal, today’s complex legal landscape mandates that all transactions be confirmed and documented thorough written agreements and contracts. If the seller chooses not to be represented by a real estate agent, having an experienced title company participate in the negotiation, drafting, and review of your real estate agreements and settlement can be a huge help. It may even minimize the risk of costly and time-consuming lawsuits and other disputes in the future.
