New Videos Highlight Key Areas of Contract of Purchase and Sale

By Ellen Baragon, Guest Contributor

Given that the Contract of Purchase and Sale (CPS) is a foundational document to any real estate transaction, REALTORS^® need to know the fine details that can make or break a Contract of Purchase and Sale.

To that end, BCREA has created a new tutorial video series that reviews key aspects of the Contract of Purchase and Sale for residential properties. These important topics include:

• deposits,
• completion, possession and adjustment dates,
• included and excluded items,
• risk, and
• assignments.

Standard forms such as the CPS support Realtors in their practice and help facilitate transaction between the between the seller and the buyer, while guiding negotiations between the parties.

Having a thorough knowledge of all aspects of the CPS will help you better support, empower and protect your clients during a real estate transaction.
