§ Real Estate

Forty pages of clauses.
The three that matter.

Buying a house is the largest contract most people ever sign. Selling one is the second-largest. FinePrint reads purchase agreements, FSBO contracts, and listing agreements against the standards a senior real-estate attorney would apply — for buyers, sellers, and investors.

§ 01 What We Flag

The clauses that
cost real money.

i.

Earnest money & the deposit clock.

When does your deposit stop being refundable? Sellers sometimes draft seventy-two-hour windows that close before the inspection is done. FinePrint finds the exact clause and translates it.

ii.

Inspection contingency.

Five days versus ten days is the difference between a real inspection and a rushed one. We tell you what's standard in your market and what's tilted against you.

iii.

Financing & appraisal.

If the lender pulls out, can you walk? Or does the seller keep your deposit? The exact wording controls — and most templates are silent until it's too late.

iv.

Repair credits.

"Seller will reasonably repair" can mean almost anything. We translate it into what your real recourse is after inspection — and where the cap should be.

v.

HOA documents & timing.

If the bylaws land in your inbox forty-eight hours before closing, that's by design. FinePrint catches the delivery clause and the deadline behind it.

vi.

Title, closing & assignment.

Who pays title insurance. When closing has to happen. Whether you can assign the contract. For investors and wholesalers, this is often the whole game.

§ 02 For Every Side

Buyer. Seller. Investor.
Same contract — three reads.

The same clause favours different people. FinePrint reframes the contract against the side you're sitting on — and tells you what's worth fighting for from that seat.

§ 03 Who It Helps

For three kinds of people
signing real-estate paperwork.

i.

First-time buyers.

The contract feels hidden behind fine print you'd rather not look at. FinePrint makes looking the fast, painless part. More for buyers →

ii.

FSBO sellers & buyers.

Without two competing agents, the template you're sent is the template you're stuck with. FinePrint reads it as if you had counsel on retainer.

iii.

Real-estate agents.

Run every contract through FinePrint before sending it to your client. Catch what you'd otherwise miss in week six of nine open deals. More for agents →
