The Contract to Purchase Real Estate in Naperville
Guidance from Naperville Real Estate Attorneys
The buyer’s offer to purchase a home, when accepted by the seller exactly as presented, creates a legally binding contract. If the seller changes the offer, he has rejected the offer and made a counteroffer. If the purchaser accepts the counteroffer, exactly as presented, then it becomes a legally binding contract. The contract is a blueprint for the transaction which governs the parties’ rights and responsibilities.
Before signing any contracts, allow the Naperville real estate lawyers at the Roscich & Martel Law Firm, LLC to assess the document and advise you appropriately. With our team on your side, you can protect your rights and ensure that the deal will work in your favor.
