Drafting Your First Residential Purchase Agreement 2023

Product ID: CA3573D
Presented By: State Bar of Wisconsin PINNACLE

It’s a home run 

Drafting residential purchase agreements is a fundamental skill for lawyers who practice – or would like to practice – real estate law.

But proficiency in drafting enables you to better serve clients by protecting their interests and ensuring the transaction goes smoothly. 

If you’re new to real estate law, Drafting Your First Residential Purchase Agreement is an ideal opportunity for practice expansion and career growth.

You’ll develop a better understanding of:

  • Approved forms for real estate transactions 
  • Purchase price and payment terms
  • Counteroffers and counterproposals
  • Inspections, financing, and appraisal
  • Title and deed information
  • How to prepare for closing
