A purchase and sale agreement conveys to the seller the financial conditions and other requirements the parties must agree to before finalizing the sale and completing the transaction.

In certain cases, the offer may be contingent upon the buyer selling their current property, obtaining a loan, or upon the appraisal of the home by the mortgage lender. The contract becomes binding once the parties approve the terms, inscribe their signatures, and initial where required.
