However, enforceability depends on applicable state law and whether all required disclosures have been made. For complex transactions or significant amounts, consider supplementing the short form with a full-length agreement or having an attorney review it.\n",{"question":387,"answer":388},"What is earnest money and how much should it be?","Earnest money is a deposit paid by the buyer at signing to demonstrate serious intent to purchase. It is typically held in escrow by a title company or attorney and applied to the purchase price at closing. In most US markets, 1–3% of the purchase price is customary. A lower deposit may concern sellers about the buyer's commitment; a higher deposit signals stronger motivation and can strengthen an offer in a competitive market.\n",{"question":390,"answer":391},"What is the difference between a short-form and a long-form purchase agreement?","A short-form agreement captures the core deal terms — price, parties, property, deposit, and closing date — in a condensed format suitable for straightforward transactions. A long-form agreement covers additional provisions in detail: title insurance requirements, prorations, default remedies, dispute resolution, representations and warranties, and jurisdiction-specific disclosures. For high-value or complex transactions, the long form provides significantly more protection for both parties.\n",{"question":393,"answer":394},"Do both buyer and seller need to sign the purchase agreement?","Yes. A real property purchase agreement requires signatures from both the buyer and the seller — with dates — to create a mutual, enforceable agreement. A form signed by only one party is generally not binding on the other. Each party should retain a complete, fully signed copy for their records.\n",{"question":396,"answer":397},"What happens to the earnest money if the deal falls through?","Whether the deposit is refunded or forfeited depends on why the deal fell through and what the agreement says. If the buyer exercises a financing or inspection contingency within the specified window, the deposit is typically returned in full. If the buyer backs out without a valid contingency reason, the seller may be entitled to keep the deposit. The agreement should name an escrow holder and state these conditions explicitly to avoid disputes.\n",{"question":399,"answer":400},"Can I use this form for commercial real estate?","This short form is designed for straightforward real property transactions and can be adapted for simple commercial purchases.

A commercial real estate purchase agreement with industry-specific provisions is more appropriate for those situations.\n",{"question":402,"answer":403},"Do I need a real estate agent or attorney to use this form?","For simple residential transactions in states where attorney involvement is not mandatory, a well-completed template is often sufficient for recording agreed terms.

It functions as the first binding written step in a property transaction, replacing informal verbal agreements with a documented record both parties have accepted.

Verbal agreements to buy or sell property are generally unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds in most jurisdictions, meaning either party can walk away without consequence. A completed short-form agreement locks in the price, the deposit terms, and the closing timeline so that both parties are protected if one side changes their mind or attempts to renegotiate. It also gives the title company or closing attorney a clear starting point for the transaction.
