Buying or selling a home in West Michigan involves more than finding the right property or negotiating the right price. Along the way, buyers and sellers may encounter agency disclosures, representation agreements, purchase agreements, listing agreements, property disclosures, addendums, releases, and other important documents. Each serves a different purpose and can affect the responsibilities, deadlines, and decisions involved in a real estate transaction.
The West Michigan Real Estate Forms & Documents Guide was created to help you better understand these commonly used documents before you’re asked to sign them. Each guide explains what the document is, when it may be used, important sections to understand, and common questions buyers and sellers have about it. These guides are provided for educational purposes and are not a substitute for legal advice from a qualified attorney.
