The different kinds of Purchase contracts have been discussed as under-

  • State/Association Agreement- in these kinds of agreements a real estate agent is also involved in the sale of the property.

  • Property- Specific Purchase Agreement- is a land purchase agreement or an agreement for a mobile home.

Real Estate Assignment Contract-


This contract is generally used in the sale of a property between a homeowner and the buyer. A real estate assignment contract will be signed when the owner of a property agrees to sell the rights to purchase the property to an investor and both the parties sign the contract.

This contract provides the real estate investor the rights to purchase the property (not for himself) and then they can sell the property to another buyer.

The end buyer pays assignment fees to the investor, and thus buys the property from the homeowner.

It is to be noted that the Real Estate Assignment contract does not provide the investors with the title of the property.


Lease Agreement-


It is a real estate contract between a property owner (landlord) and a renter (tenant) to the property. The landlord agrees to offer the property for the tenant to reside in at a specific monthly rate.


The contract includes important conditions such as security deposit, payment of utilities other than the time period for the lease as well as the amount of rent to be paid.

All important conditions are to be included in the contract so as to prevent any legal disputes in the future.


Power of attorney-


A power of attorney is used in the situations where the principal (i.e. a person who has given the permission for someone to act in his place) is not in a position or is physically able to sign the contract.

In such a situation the principal will appoint another party to act on his behalf, hence signing the power of attorney to them. Power of attorney could be signed in the following situations-
