FORMS

Our forms package, including the Sales Contract, was developed through a concerted effort by How To LLC (the Publisher) and legal counsel. We know, and understand, how difficult it is to locate a well crafted and easy to understand Sales Contract, and how complex the process of filling one out may seem at first. These forms were designed to simplify matters.

Please read the Consumer Limitations if you have any doubts as to the suitability of these documents for your particular purpose. Sell It By Owner and Save explains, in detail, the use of most of the following documents.

The Forms Package Includes 17 pages, format size is 8 1/2" x    11"(printed and PDF file)

	Sales Contract  (a well crafted, easy to read, easy to understand 4 page legal document designed specifically for by-owner transactions, 8 ½ x 11).  UPDATED 03/01/2004
	Sellers Disclosure Statement  (a 3 page complete disclosure statement including more items than the average form. One of the best offered anywhere).
	Escrow/Good Faith Deposit form (this will stipulate how much the buyer will be placing on deposit, with whom, where the money will be held, and how the money will be returned or credited to the buyer at the closing. This agreement also protects the by-owner Seller from having to refund to the Buyer any deposit money before the good faith deposit check clears the Buyer’s bank account).
	HUD Lead Based Paint Disclosure Statement (necessary for all pre 1978 homes).
	Addendum to the Sales Contract (used for any add-on language in the event there is no room on the Sales Contract or additional State specific language needs to be included as mentioned in our book).
	Amendment to the Sales Contract (this is used to change or amend any of the terms and/or conditions of the original Contract and must be signed by all).
	Bill of Sale (to list those personal items being sold to your buyer or staying with the home, if included with the sale).
	Commission Agreement form (this document will guarantee any agent and their respective brokerage firm a pre-defined commission in the event the by-owner seller chooses to work with an agent on a very limited basis as discussed in our book).
	Affidavit Regarding Closing (this form is to be signed at the closing for Buyer and Seller to acknowledge the sale has been closed according to the terms of the Sales Contract and Addendums, if used).
	Buyer/Seller Mutual Release form (this document is necessary to dissolve or nullify the Sales Contract between buyer and seller, in the event the buyer was not able to consummate the transaction, so the Seller may begin to re-market and re-sell their home and the buyer can go about their business).
