DIY Real Estate Contracts
Generic “valid in all 50 state” real estate contracts are available at Staples and other office supply stores. I should check the NoLo guys to see if they have a book on such contracts. There are also web sites such as Audrie.com that will sell DIY real estate contracts for minimal costs.
The “state-specific” forms tend to be longer than the more generic ones, because these are geared to managing, say, the commission information for the brokers who may be taking part in this. New York City co-ops are a bit weird, though, since there has to be a section that states the number of shares changing hands, etc., so I’m not sure if the generic documents are applicable.
