The Maine residential purchase and sale agreement is used to outline and finalize a transaction between the buyer and seller of residential property. It contains information such as the pricing, financing, buying conditions, and rights and responsibilities of both parties. The seller can use the form to state other information beneficial to the buyer, such as additional property included in the sale, fees, and other conditions.

Prior to the sale, sellers must furnish buyers with a property disclosure statement that relays the property’s water, heating, and waste disposal systems, including any contamination or defects. The real estate transfer is deemed final once the form is completed and signed by the buyer and seller, or the seller’s agents.
