Purchase & Sale Agreement Review

Analyze property contract terms and allocation of risk.

Understanding the matter

A real estate purchase agreement may impose diligence, title, financing, representation, cure and closing requirements with major consequences.

Relevant documents and information

Proposed PSA, exhibits, amendments, transaction timetable, escrow documents and jurisdiction.

Possible legal assistance

We assess material clauses, identify concerns and suggest revisions to improve clarity and align with the transaction goals.

A purchase and sale agreement can shift major risks through diligence contingencies, representations, deposit provisions, title requirements, financing conditions, closing milestones and termination rights. Reviewing only the purchase price leaves important legal exposures unaddressed.

A transaction-specific review may identify missing exhibits, ambiguous deadlines, responsibility for approvals or repairs, notice-and-cure requirements and the consequences of default. Local property law and closing practice require qualified jurisdictional assessment.

The appropriate process, available remedies and scope of representation are determined after considering the evidence and relevant jurisdiction.

Prepare for your consultation

Please provide a short summary of the matter, any imminent deadlines and the applicable state or country. Sensitive material should only be provided through a secure channel after intake instructions are confirmed.

Review conditions that affect closing and termination

A purchase and sale agreement should be evaluated for the asset description, price, deposit treatment, representations and warranties, due-diligence periods, contingencies, cure opportunities, default remedies and allocation of closing costs. The particular risks differ between residential transactions and commercial or hotel acquisitions. A generic contract checklist should not replace review of the negotiated transaction.

Track amendments and notice mechanics

Provide the complete signed agreement, exhibits, amendments, escrow and title instructions, disclosure materials and important correspondence. Map contractual deadlines and confirm whether notices must go to designated people or addresses. Before accepting a proposed termination, determine whether the contract permits one and whether any contractual or statutory requirements remain unsatisfied.
