Good luck with your studies. 

Fill in the blanks and be able to explain why,what and when plus who & how

we use the local Greater Boston Real Estate Board (GBREB) contracts.... fill in the blanks.... and then we send the contract to the client's attorney.... he/she can use it; alter it; or provide his own.... but he/she has the details of the transaction..... we do not play attorney.

We complete the forms provided to us by our Association. These forms have been reviewed by lawyers.  We are the ones who fill in the blanks and make sure they are fully executed by all parties. 

Knowing what to put in the blanks.

The agent's role - to know what forms to use for the given situation and how to fill them out properly and make sure they are fully signed and dated and in WA State make sure there's a full unabbreviated legal description attached. That's it for preperation of the contract. It's a bonus if the agent truly understands what the contract says and helps their buyer client understand it as well.

I do not prepare contracts... I use state-sanctioned forms. I fill in the blanks. Preparing contracts is tantamount to practicing law.

In Maryland, the agent prepares the contract.

Follow the practices in your state.

Fill in the blanks. Attorney reviews

Fill in the blanks and explain it. Refer all specific questions to an attorney.

Fill in the blanks

You have to know them inside and out, forwards and backwards and be able to explain them fully to your clients as you fill in the state-provided form blanks. Then you have them initial and sign so you can present to the other party's representative.

Preparing real estate contracts is what we do, Kenya.

Fill in the blanks.

Depends on the area and on local conventions. It could be filling in the blanks of standard contracts or just providing contract info to attorneys to draft documents.

Prepare them, and go over with client.

I wish you all the best with your real estate studies.

It depends on where you practice real estate. In SC we fill in and add pre-approved verbiage if needed, obtain signatures and initials, explain the "What, when, and how" of the contract, and explain before they sign that if they have any questions they need to talk to an attorney before signing. Be sure you know the procedure for your state so you don't end up crossing into the attorney's side of things!
