A Maryland residential real estate purchase and sale agreement is a contract used to present an offer and facilitate the purchase or sale of real estate. The agreement will outline the specific terms of the sale and set a deadline on which the offer expires. On the form, the purchaser will need to provide information on how they will be able to finance the purchase of the property, including any bank loans and the sale of other property if applicable. If the buyer and seller agree to the offer, both parties will sign the contract, thus making the document legally binding.
