Can we go back to the 1 page agreement?  Please ??

What is the reams exponentially? 

23 - Sales Agreement & seller disclosure (including the Lead Based Paint disclosure)

 Good Thursday morning fall. Because I do not have a dog in the hunt I have no idea.

The average contract I have has 20-25 pages. It can be more but usually not less.

11

On a typical transaction we would have the contract (9 pages), finance addendum (2 pages), and a sellers disclosure (5 pages).

Good morning Paul. I am a real estate investor and buy bank owned properties all the time, I once signed an agreement that was 32 pages. That is beyond stupid, especially for  a no contingency agreement.

CA contract changed and now it is all together: AD, DA, RPA, SA. So, it is about 17 pages+POF+PQ+ any other supplemental documents.

Paul - Our standard purchase contract has 9 pages, but there are typically addendum's and other forms included (HOA's, Market Conditions, etc). I would say on average there would be at least 13 pages.

My state contract to buy and sell is 16 pages long...could be longer depending on additional provisions. That includes the signature pages. It covers everything.

Then we also have disclosure docs for lead based paint, source of domestic water, square footage disclosure and the seller's property disclosure. Also closing instructions. 

Ours are now up to 7, but have heard that it may go higher.

It depends on the property, financing and a whole host of other issues.

7 pages in the Gar!

We were at 17+ and that's for just the basics, pre 1978 property and those in Associations can easily add 6 more. 

Our contracts are 13 pages and then there are additional disclosure documents (i.e. seller, lead based paint, radon, mold, short sale)

11, plus associated addenda
