Under a Contract for Deed, once the Buyer has made all the payments specified in the agreement and met all other obligations, the Seller must transfer a valid legal title through a Deed. Through a Contract for Deed, the Seller finances the property that is being sold while keeping the title or deed as security. The Buyer will make payments in installments for the duration of the Contract for Deed and is allowed possession of the property, while the Seller will remain liable for any existing mortgage on the property.
Some of the advantages of Contracts for Deed are that the closing costs associated with this type of transaction are usually lower than transactions involving mortgages, banks or other institutional type lenders.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Contract for Deed is a legal agreement where the seller finances the sale of property, allowing the buyer to make installment payments while the seller retains the title until all payments are made.
Under a Contract for Deed, the buyer makes regular payments to the seller, who retains the title as security until the buyer fulfills all terms of the contract, including payment obligations.
Some advantages include lower closing costs compared to traditional mortgages, flexible payment terms, and the ability for buyers with poor credit to purchase property.
Yes, typically the buyer can make improvements to the property, but it is advisable to check the specific terms of the contract regarding modifications.
If the buyer defaults, the seller may have the right to terminate the contract and retain any payments made, depending on the terms outlined in the agreement.
Is This Form Right For You?
Use This Form If:
- Individuals who are looking to purchase property but may not qualify for traditional financing options can benefit from a Contract for Deed. This arrangement allows them to make payments directly to the seller, bypassing banks and lenders.
- Sellers wishing to attract buyers in a competitive real estate market may use a Contract for Deed to offer flexible financing options. This can make their property more appealing to potential buyers who might struggle to secure a mortgage.
- In situations where a buyer has a limited credit history or is self-employed, a Contract for Deed provides an alternative path to homeownership. This method allows buyers to demonstrate their ability to make payments over time without the stringent requirements of conventional loans.
- For those looking to invest in real estate, a Contract for Deed can serve as a strategic tool to acquire properties with less upfront capital. Investors can negotiate terms directly with sellers, potentially leading to better deals.
- Homeowners facing financial difficulties may consider using a Contract for Deed to sell their property while still retaining some control over the sale process. This can help them avoid foreclosure and provide a smoother transition.
Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate if the buyer has access to traditional financing options, such as a mortgage, which may offer better terms and lower interest rates.
- – In cases where the seller has existing liens or encumbrances on the property that could complicate the title transfer, a Contract for Deed may not be suitable.
- – If the buyer is not prepared to accept the property in 'AS-IS' condition, they may need to pursue a different type of sale agreement that allows for inspections and repairs.
- – For transactions involving commercial properties, a Contract for Deed may not meet the specific legal requirements or complexities associated with commercial real estate.
- – If either party is not willing to comply with the terms of a Contract for Deed, such as payment schedules or maintenance responsibilities, this form should not be used.
