The Real Estate Purchase & Sale Agreement.
Now, let me just tell you - this is not your average Purchase & Sale Agreement. This particular contract has been successfully used in over 300 closings. It's been continually developed, simplified, and fine-tuned throughout a decade of continual use. It's been scrutinized & approved at an expense of over $10,000 by multiple contract lawyers. It's been through dozens of different closings offices and title companies in different States across America. It's been used to successfully close deals in as many as 17 different countries by various other students and Real Estate Investors.
Suffice it to say that this contract is SPECIAL.
Sound interesting? It definitely should because you'll also be able to use this contract for yourself.
That's right - as part of this course you'll download a copy of my PROVEN contract, but the value doesn't stop there because you'll also be taken through the entire contract, line by line, with detailed explanations so that you come out of the course with a
One problem that many investors have is that they lack confidence in their own contracts. They worry about getting sued, losing their earnest money, or having their deals fall apart. After you complete this course you'll not only be able to write offers with complete confidence, but you'll also have a firm understanding of how the contract works so that you can effectively close more deals.
My contract will help you get more offers accepted, maintain control all the way to the closing table, increase your profitability, and ensure that you are protected every step of the way.
This contract is very multi-use and lends itself to many different Real Estate investing strategies such as...
- FIX & FLIP: Buy low, add value, then sell high with my proven Purchase & Sale contract.
-
- RENTALS: You can quickly grow your investment portfolio when you get more offers accepted.
* For a special bonus you'll also download a copy of my "Sell-Side Purchase & Sale Agreement" that can be used to double-close wholesale deals. This is also known as a back-to-back closing or simultaneous closing - and this special way of closing wholesale deals is only possible with this unique and powerful contract.
As you can see, regardless of what your primary investment strategy is, you will benefit by putting my contract to work in your business. You'll be able to write more offers and have more of them get accepted. You'll protect yourself from financial loss by ensuring that you never lose your earnest money deposit. You'll gain a boost of confidence that comes from having a complete understanding of the legal language of your contract and how it works to help you grow your Real Estate business.
If you really boil it down, there are 3 reasons why my Purchase & Sale Agreement is the best you can get...
- REASON #1: Unbeatable Simplicity.
This contract contains ZERO unnecessary language, but still contains
- REASON #2: Unmatched Protection.
This contract creates a legal shield around the investor so they can operate with confidence.
- REASON #3: Unequalled Effectiveness.
This contract produces 20% MORE accepted offers by not intimidating sellers with confusing language.
- REASON #4: Unequivocally Proven.
This exact same contract is what I've used to close over 300 Real Estate purchases.

Welcome to the course!
I’m so glad that you’ve enrolled because just the simple act of taking those little steps forward towards your goals shows that you are serious about gaining new knowledge and resources that will add value to your Real Estate business.
You’re going to get a ton of benefit from the content and resources I’ve put together for you, but really quick - I want to talk about the downloadable contract files available to you within this course.
You’ll find your downloadable contract files in the FINAL LESSON of this course. If you want you can download them now, otherwise they’ll be waiting there for you when you reach the end of the course.
The other thing I want to mention is that your downloadable files are available in both a PDF and ODT format. If you’re not familiar with those file types, let me explain what those mean.
The PDF is essentially your working copy. That’s the one that you’ll email around, use to print off, or send to someone to e-sign. It’s the “final version” you’ll use to actually get things done.
The ODT file is the one you can edit to fit your own personal uses. ODT is the file type the Open Office uses and it’s also compatible with Microsoft Word. You can use the ODT file to make any changes you need, then export it as a fresh PDF.
In simpler terms, the ODT is the one you can edit, the PDF is the one you work with.
I hope all that makes sense.
Okay - without further ado - let's move on.
Just a little about "your's truly" before we get into the course material!
Alright, disclaimer time. I know that might be a creepy thing to hear, but I’ve got to get this out of the way.
So here’s the disclaimer:
I take no responsibility for the outcome you may experience by using my contracts or otherwise concerning any of the content within my Real Estate courses.
That’s it. I hate that I have to say that, because it kinda feels like it undermines my credibility, but it’s one of those things that I just have to mention.
While none of my contracts has ever given me a hint of legal trouble over the years, I simply can’t make any specific promises that you’ll have the same experience. No contract can guarantee with absolute certainty that you’ll stay out of hot water. Ultimately it’s up to you to conduct yourself in a professional manner and not make moves that will put you at risk. I think what it really comes down to is that if you take good care of the people you’re working with and operate with integrity then things will generally be just fine.
With that said, my contracts do provide the user with a substantial level of legal protection. They’re purposefully designed to give you the horsepower to control deals, get offers accepted, and generally be able to successfully maneuver deals to the closing table - while simultaneously giving the user the ability to get out of deals if that turns out to be the best course of action.
So while I can’t make any specific promises concerning my contracts, what I can tell you is that I’m extraordinarily pleased with how well they’ve served me over the years and I just can’t see why you wouldn’t experience the same level of success by using them for yourself.
I’ll close this lesson by giving you some valuable advice.
Always have any contracts you intend to use approved first by your attorney or title company before putting them to use. They may simply approve them just the way they are or perhaps they'll suggest some edits. Either way it’s a good idea to follow their advice because they are very in tune with the nuances of your investment market.
So that’s it, that’s the disclaimer. With that out of the way, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of this course and let’s dive into the Purchase & Sale Agreement.
In this section, we’ll be going through the contract line by line with simple explanations so that you come out of this section with a good grasp of how the contract works so that you can effectively put it to use in your business.
Buckle up, pay close attention, and let’s dive into the details of the Purchase & Sale Agreement.
This section details the nuances of what I call the "Sell-Side" Purchase & Sale Agreement.
This contract is used when double-closing a wholesale deal.
It's a VERY IMPORTANT contract to have in this particular case.
Let go through the contract line by line and learn how to use it effectively.
In this lesson, we’ll go through the contract files that are downloadable as part of this course. There is a PDF file and also an ODT file.
The PDF is the one that I call the “working copy”. It’s the one you’ll use to print, email, or otherwise use to get business done.
The ODT file is the one that you can personalize, edit, export, and modify. It’s the one you can use to make any changes you need in order to make the document your own.
Remember, your downloads are available in the final lesson of this course.
Another important thing to remember is that I am using a Macbook Pro computer running Open Office during these videos. If you’re on a different machine, your screen is going to look different, but the general functionality should be very similar.
The primary function of the Purchase & Sale Agreement is to establish equitable interest in a piece of property you intend to purchase, but as the name would suggest, it’s also commonly used to sell property.
Now, within this course we cover 2 different versions of the Purchase & Sale agreement and I want to make an important clarification as to why there are 2 different versions.
The reason for this is specifically if you intend to wholesale Real Estate by means of a double closing.
During a double closing - or a simultaneous closing (as it’s also known by), you will be acting as both the buyer & seller at the same time.
On the 1st transaction you’re the buyer (which requires a contract between you and the Seller), and on the 2nd transaction you’re the seller (which requires a contract between you and your Buyer).
The reason for 2 different contracts, instead of just using the same contract on both closings, is because each one is strategically written in order to give YOU the power, leverage, and protection needed to effectively close the deal without taking risk, and without potentially losing your earnest money if the deal falls through.
In other words, each contract gives special considerations and power for the specific role you are in. In this way you are always in control and not at risk, even though you are simultaneously the BUYER and SELLER when closing a wholesale deal by means of a double closing.
While the SELLING version of this contract is really only useful for double closings, the BUYING version, also known by myself as the “standard version”, is the one that you’ll want to use when simply buying a property for any other reason, such as for rental property or to fix-&-flip.
If you are simply pursuing a “typical” Real Estate purchase, the standard Purchase & Sale agreement that I’ve provided is the one you’ll want to use.
Don’t let its simplicity fool you.
It’s intentionally designed to be as simple as possible so that it’s very easy to understand without intimidating sellers with a bunch of fancy legal language, but even though it’s short & simple it still packs in features that you want to have in order to establish and maintain control of your Real Estate purchases.
With this contract you’ll be able to secure houses, maintain control, and also protect yourself from potentially losing your earnest money or even exposing yourself to greater liabilities.
The Purchase & Sale Agreement has allowed me to successfully close over 300 Real Estate deals thus far. It’s been a very handy contract to have, and I know you’ll get a ton of value putting it to work in your own business.
So from here there’s only 1 more lesson left, but it’s one that you definitely don’t want to miss!
