Here are some steps you can consider when reviewing a real estate contract that has already been signed:

 

  1. Gather All Relevant Documents: Collect all documents related to the real estate transaction, including the signed contract, any addendums, disclosures, and correspondence with the other party or their agent.

  2. Review the Key Terms: Carefully read through the contract to understand its key terms, including the purchase price, deposit amount, financing details, and any contingencies (such as inspections or financing approval).

  3. Check for Contingencies: Ensure that any contingencies outlined in the contract have been met or are in the process of being met. Contingencies might include inspections, appraisals, or financing approval.

  4. Timeline and Deadlines: Verify that you are aware of all timelines and deadlines specified in the contract, such as the closing date, inspection period, and financing approval deadlines. Ensure you're in compliance with these timelines.

  5. Title and Ownership: Confirm that the contract accurately reflects the legal description of the property and the names of the buyers and sellers. Ensure that there are no issues with the property's title.

  6. Responsibilities and Repairs: Review any provisions related to who is responsible for repairs, maintenance, or potential issues with the property.

  7. Contingencies for Cancellation: Understand the conditions under which the contract can be canceled by either party and the procedures for doing so.

  8. Financing Details: If the contract involves financing, review the terms related to the mortgage, interest rate, and any contingencies related to financing approval.

  9. Earnest Money Deposit: Verify the amount and conditions related to the earnest money deposit and understand the circumstances under which it may be forfeited.

  10. Addendums and Amendments: Check for any addendums or amendments to the contract and ensure that they have been properly executed and are included in the contract documentation.

  11. Legal Compliance: Ensure that the contract complies with all relevant state and local laws and regulations governing real estate transactions.

  12. Consult an Attorney: If you have any doubts or concerns about the contract, or if you believe that any terms are unfavorable or unclear, consult with a qualified real estate attorney. They can provide specific legal advice tailored to your situation.
