How do you sell realestate on contract without a realtor?
I have a buyer for a piece of property. I don’t have a contract written up yet with a lawyer. What should I have buyer sign and should I get a small down payment until papers a re ready? How would I write this receipt up?
it is called earnest money. i would go to legalzoom.com and look for a land contract. it is the document you are looking for and they are cheaper on that site than going through a lawyer.
your borrower, if they are getting a loan, will be helped by the loan officer as well. title company will still be involved to protect you both.
good luck

You get a lawyer. Don’t listen to these people telling you to buy generic forms. If you go to Staples and buy a land contract, it may not contain state and local specific language you need to protect you. See a lawyer. The place to save $ is not in a legal, binding contract, that is "penny wise and pound foolish".
