Hello, I am about to make my first ever offer (without a realtor) on a house owned by my friend. I would like to have some sort of contract ready for him to sign, that has a couple contingencies built in. Could I just type a 1 page contract up myself? or does anyone have a quick easy "fill in the blank" contract that I could use? I'm going to buy it as-is, with a financing and inspection contingency. Does anyone have any advice or a contract I could use? Thank you.

You can hire an attorney which would be smart if you never done a contract form or Google real estate sales purchase contract and use something like legal zoom, rocket lawyer etc.... Make sure your contract is state specific.

My buddy just did the same last week using a form he found on rocket lawyer online. It seemed easy and was accepted as a legit contract by the bank and insurance. He compared it to previous contract PDF he had and it stated the same information.

Thanks for the help everyone, I have contacted a few attorneys in my area and im going to sit down with one of them. I figure I only need to do this once, and then ill have a conract to copy for any future offers.
