Legal Forms
If you
didn’t realize prior to visiting my web site, you now know that transacting
real estate is a complicated legal process.
Fortunately, as your agent I will make sure you understand the steps,
each of the required documents and make sure the “T”s are crossed and “I”s
dotted. Nevertheless some clients like
to preview the legal forms. On this web
page I have included several of the most common forms.
Offer to Buy a Home:
A purchase
and sale agreement, or as many people call it a “P&S” is the New
Hampshire specific document a buyer and their agent will complete to submit an
offer to a seller and their agent.

Understand the Relationship
between You and Your Agent:
The state
of New Hampshire requires real estate agents to provide each customer, buyer or
seller an agency disclosure agreement.
This is not actually a contract, but a document that informs you of the
various agent relationships with their clients and in what capacity an agent
works for you.

Put your House Up for Sale:
If you determine to sell your
house through me and have me handle the marketing, appointments (showings,
inspections, appraisals, etc), closing and legal documents you will have to
complete the listing agreement.
Buy a Home with Me Representing
You:
One aspect of working with a
real estate agent that many people don’t understand is the buyer’s relationship
with their agent. Traditionally, all
agents work for the sellers of homes.
This is logical as the sellers, not buyers, pay the agents’ fees. Obviously this situation does not advantageous
for buyers. To respond to buyers’ needs
and provide a better service, real estate professionals are now offering representation
for buyers that would still be paid from the sellers’ fees, but legally the
buyer’s agent is contractually working with the buyer.
What you really need to know is that the following buyer’s agency
agreement legally commits buyers’ agents to best representing the
buyers. In turn it legally binds the
buyer to buying through their agent for a time specified in the agreement. In a nutshell, after a buyer and agent work
together through a showing or two and know they work well together the buyer
should sign up their agent using the Buyer Agency form.

Seller Officially Discloses Information:
The seller
of a home must complete the seller’s statement. In this statement the seller answers
standard questions about general information of the home, hazardous materials,
insulation, water and sewer. This
document should be provided to all prospective buyers of the home for review
and is signed by the seller.
Note that these forms are in Adobe
“PDF” format. If you click on them and
get an error message or cannot see them you probably have to download the free
PDF reader.
