The purchase and sale of real estate are always done in writing. The most critical document in any transaction is the sales contract, which is referred to as the purchase agreement in real estate transactions. After you have found a property that meets your investment goals, have your real estate agent prepare a real estate contract for presentation to the seller or her agent.
