A Louisiana residential purchase and sale agreement is written by a buyer to make an offer for the purchase of real estate to the seller. The seller will either accept, reject, or make a counter-offer for commonly a higher price. The agreement should include all the terms of the purchase including the closing date, inspection period, earnest money deposit, and any financing contingencies.
If either party does not abide by the agreement they run the risk of being in default which, for the buyer, means losing their deposit to the seller.
