I am selling my home. The gentleman asked for a purchase contract so he can get a loan from the bank. I want to make sure that they cannot change the purchase price. What do I do?

I understand your concern about ensuring the purchase price cannot be changed. Do you currently have a real estate lawyer assisting you with the sale?

No, it's just me and the buyer.

Have you already drafted a purchase contract for the sale of your home, or do you need assistance with creating one that protects the purchase price?

I did one on eForms following the directions. I just hope I did it right to protect myself.

Is there anything else the real estate lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your purchase contract.

No.

Hello. Welcome to AskaLawyer. Let me see if I can assist. My name is Lori, and I am on live with you today. This is not an automated response. I am an attorney with over 25 years of experience.

  1. What city/state is the property located in?
  2. Normally, the buyer presents a written contract offer. Has he done so?
  3. Have you discussed any contingencies with the buyer that might affect the purchase price?
  4. Would you like a document review of the contract today?

I am in Gary, West Virginia. The only thing we’ve done is that the man went to the bank to get the rest of the money and was told he needed to present a purchase contract. Yes, I would like you to review the contract today.

Document review is a premium service that requires an additional fee. I’m happy to assist with review, comments, and suggestions. How many pages is the document?

10.

Thanks for the information. I can review it for a discounted fee. If you wish to proceed, please let me know, and I’ll send the request.

No. I want to make this as simple a purchase as possible while still following all the necessary laws.

I recommend using Avvo.com to find a local real estate attorney to review the purchase and sale agreement. You can also try:
