A South Carolina real estate contract, also called a residential real estate purchase and sale agreement, is a legally binding contract executed by a buyer and a seller to facilitate the sale of real property. The purpose of this contract is to protect both parties throughout the property buying process. This is achieved by including certain requirements that each party must meet before the sale can be finalized.
For example, a buyer may be required to obtain financing and insurance before being eligible to move forward with the sale. On the other hand, a seller will be required to provide the buyer with disclosures about any issues or defects with the property.
The most common South Carolina real estate contract is the South Carolina Association of Realtors agreement to buy and sell real estate. This fillable template ensures that all requirements of the real estate contract are addressed.
