A Virginia commercial real estate purchase and sale agreement contains the terms governing the sale of a commercial property. The agreement acts as a tool for the buyer to communicate their offer to the seller. After the seller reviews the proposed conditions (e.g., closing schedule, purchase price, financing requirements, earnest money), they can choose to accept the offer, decline the offer, or continue the negotiation process by submitting a counterproposal with amendments made where necessary. Both the buyer and seller will be legally bound to the agreement terms once negotiations are complete and the parties have signed.
