Real Property Agreement: Definition & Sample

Trustpilot

A real property agreement is a lease, license, easment, or other right in real property that is material to a company or individual. In real estate, a real property agreement would include the piece of land as well as everything that attached to the land. It would also include the inherent ownership of any dwelling on the property.

Real property rights are important to establish early on in a deal. This ensures that both parties benefit from the deal and that no one is taken advantage of or robbed of property attached to the purchase in question.

The “Closing Date” or “Closing” of this Agreement and the transfer of title and possession of the Property shall occur on a date and at a time mutually agreeable to Seller and Buyer, but in no event later than October 31, 2004.

As soon as reasonably possible, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole expense, obtain a commitment for an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (ALTA FORM B) from Chicago Title Insurance Company or other title insurance company reasonably selected by Buyer agreed to insure title to the Property in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, and subject to no exceptions other than matters herein permitted, those which will be discharged prior to or at Closing and the standard printed exceptions and exclusions from coverage customarily contained in an owner’s policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company. Said commitment shall be conclusive evidence of insurability of Seller’s title. Subsequent to Closing, Buyer, at it sole expense, shall obtain an owner’s title insurance policy reflecting the status of title through the moment of recording the deed delivered at Closing, said policy showing good and insurable title in Buyer after recording the warranty deed, subject to no title exceptions or defects other than those permitted by this Agreement. Buyer shall have five (5) days after the delivery of the policy, Saturdays and Sundays not to be included, to object to any new defects in title revealed by the owner’s policy. Failure to object within said five (5) days shall be deemed a waiver of the right to make any future objections to title on the matters revealed by the policy. If new objections are raised within the permitted period, the curative rights and remedies as set forth in the paragraph entitled “Curative Rights” shall be applicable to the new defects set forth on the owner’s policy. If the defects are not cured and Buyer does not waive the defects, Buyer, upon execution and delivery of a Special Warranty Deed re-conveying the Property to Seller, shall be reimbursed for all payments previously made to Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

7. Curative Rights .

If the title commitment discloses unpermitted exceptions or title defects, Seller, at its sole option, shall have thirty (30) days from the date of delivering the commitment within which to have the exceptions removed from the commitment, the commitment amended to insure against loss from or as a result of such unpermitted exception or defect, or the title defects cured to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. In such event, the Closing Date shall be thirty-five (35) days after delivery of the amended commitment if one is issued, or the time expressly specified in this Agreement, which ever is later. If Seller fails to have the commitment exceptions removed, the commitment amended or the defects cured within the specified time, or if Seller advises Buyer it will make no effort to remove, insure over or cure such defects, Buyer may only terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the aforementioned deposit or Buyer may elect, upon notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the expiration of the applicable curative period, or within ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice that it will not attempt to remove the exception from the commitment, insure over or cure such defects, to take title as it then is notwithstanding such exceptions or title defects. Should the title commitment reveal the presence of mechanics’ liens,

a transfer to bond of such liens with a surety reasonably acceptable to Buyer, shall be deemed to have cured the defect arising because of such lien(s), for purpose of determining the status of title under this Agreement.

Seller shall convey fee simple title to the Property by general warranty deed, subject to real estate taxes for the year of closing (prorated), zoning, recorded covenants and restrictions, special taxing district requirements, special improvement and maintenance assessments, title defects waived by Buyer, and the matters specified or required by this Agreement. Unless otherwise herein provided to the contrary, the general warranty deed shall use the Exhibit A description.

9. Allocation of Closing Expenses .

Buyer shall pay all Closing Costs of this transaction; however, each party shall pay its respective attorney’s fees.

10. Time of the Essence .

TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. When a date upon which a specified event shall occur or be performed falls upon a weekend or official holiday, the time allowed for the event or performance to occur shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. of the next succeeding business day.

Real property taxes for the year of Closing, and annual installment applicable to the year of Closing on public improvement liens and special assessments, and other proratable items shall be paid entirely by Buyer. All ad valorem taxes for prior years shall be paid by Seller.

12. Infestation Provision .

Buyer, at its expense, may obtain, prior to Closing, a written statement of a local, licensed and bonded exterminating company showing whether or not there are or ever have been any wood-destroying or damaging organisms in the improvements of the Property. In the event that there are any costs required to treatment required to remedy any present or past infestation so reported, including the cost of repairing or replacing all portions of the improvements which have been damaged, Buyer shall pay such costs. However, in the event that the repair cost to be incurred pursuant to this paragraph is more than one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price, then either party may cancel this Agreement within five (5) days after the receipt of the termite inspection report by giving written notice to the other and thereupon all parties will be released from any liability under this Agreement. Buyer, however, may waive defaults or defects related to wood-destroying organism infestation, and require Seller to close notwithstanding such infestation, in which case there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price.
