“As Is” Residential Contract for Sale and Purchase PDF Details

The 2013 Far Bar Contract form, jointly approved by the Florida Association of Realtors and The Florida Bar, serves as a crucial document facilitating the sale and purchase of real estate in Florida under "As Is" conditions. This comprehensive contract outlines the agreement between a seller and a buyer to transfer ownership of property, clearly delineating the description of the real and personal property involved, the purchase price, and the terms of payment. It addresses various contingencies, such as financing, which could impact the fulfillment of the contract. Specifically, the form includes provisions regarding the timely acceptance of offers and counteroffers, the implications of financing approval or lack thereof, and the responsibilities of both parties in ensuring clear title to the property by closing. The contract further details standards for real estate transactions, including but not limited to, the handling of title evidence, occupancy terms, the assignability of the contract, and the implications of property inspections. Riders and addenda can be attached to address specific concerns or circumstances, providing flexibility and clarity to address almost any scenario that might arise during the transaction. Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity for buyers to conduct due diligence regarding potential assessments and the physical condition of the property, including aspects like radon gas and mold presence. It’s structured to ensure that both parties are adequately protected and informed throughout the transaction process, promoting a transparent and equitable property sale and purchase experience.

“AS IS” STANDARDS FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS

147A. TITLE INSURANCE: The Title Commitment shall be issued by a Florida licensed title insurer agreeing to issue Buyer, upon recording of the deed to Buyer,

148an owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount of the purchase price, insuring Buyer’s marketable title to the Real Property, subject only to matters contained

149in Paragraph VII and those to be discharged by Seller at or before Closing. Marketable title shall be determined according to applicable Title Standards adopt-

150ed by authority of The Florida Bar and in accordance with law. Buyer shall have 5 days from date of receiving the Title Commitment to examine it, and if title is

151found defective, notify Seller in writing specifying defect(s) which render title unmarketable. Seller shall have 30 days from receipt of notice to remove the

152defects, failing which Buyer shall, within 5 days after expiration of the 30 day period, deliver written notice to Seller either: (1) extending the time for a reason-

153able period not to exceed 120 days within which Seller shall use diligent effort to remove the defects; or (2) requesting a refund of deposit(s) paid which shall

154be returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to so notify Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the title as it then is. Seller shall, if title is found unmarketable,

155use diligent effort to correct defect(s) within the time provided. If, after diligent effort, Seller is unable to timely correct the defects, Buyer shall either waive the

156defects, or receive a refund of deposit(s), thereby releasing Buyer and Seller from all further obligations under this Contract. If Seller is to provide the Title

157Commitment and it is delivered to Buyer less than 5 days prior to Closing, Buyer may extend Closing so that Buyer shall have up to 5 days from date of receipt

158to examine same in accordance with this “AS IS” Standard.

159B. PURCHASE MONEY MORTGAGE; SECURITY AGREEMENT TO SELLER: A purchase money mortgage and mortgage note to Seller shall provide for a

16030 day grace period in the event of default if a first mortgage and a 15 day grace period if a second or lesser mortgage; shall provide for right of prepayment

161in whole or in part without penalty; shall permit acceleration in event of transfer of the Real Property; shall require all prior liens and encumbrances to be kept

162in good standing; shall forbid modifications of, or future advances under, prior mortgage(s); shall require Buyer to maintain policies of insurance containing a

163standard mortgagee clause covering all improvements located on the Real Property against fire and all perils included within the term “extended coverage

164endorsements” and such other risks and perils as Seller may reasonably require, in an amount equal to their highest insurable value; and the mortgage, note

165and security agreement shall be otherwise in form and content required by Seller, but Seller may only require clauses and coverage customarily found in mort-

166gages, mortgage notes and security agreements generally utilized by savings and loan institutions or state or national banks located in the county wherein the

167Real Property is located. All Personal Property and leases being conveyed or assigned will, at Seller’s option, be subject to the lien of a security agreement evi-

168denced by recorded or filed financing statements or certificates of title. If a balloon mortgage, the final payment will exceed the periodic payments thereon.

169C. SURVEY: Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, within time allowed to deliver evidence of title and to examine same, may have the Real Property surveyed and certi-

170fied by a registered Florida surveyor. If the survey discloses encroachments on the Real Property or that improvements located thereon encroach on setback

171lines, easements, lands of others or violate any restrictions, Contract covenants or applicable governmental regulations, the same shall constitute a title defect.

172D. WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS: DELETED

173E. INGRESS AND EGRESS: Seller warrants and represents that there is ingress and egress to the Real Property sufficient for its intended use as described

174in Paragraph VII hereof and title to the Real Property is insurable in accordance with “AS IS” Standard A without exception for lack of legal right of access.

175F. LEASES: Seller shall at least 10 days before Closing, furnish to Buyer copies of all written leases and estoppel letters from each tenant specifying the nature

176and duration of the tenant’s occupancy, rental rates, advanced rent and security deposits paid by tenant. If Seller is unable to obtain such letter from each ten-

177ant, the same information shall be furnished by Seller to Buyer within that time period in the form of a Seller’s affidavit, and Buyer may thereafter contact ten-

178ant to confirm such information. If the terms of the leases differ materially from Seller’s representations, Buyer may terminate this Contract by delivering written

179notice to Seller at least 5 days prior to Closing. Seller shall, at Closing, deliver and assign all original leases to Buyer.

180G. LIENS: Seller shall furnish to Buyer at time of Closing an affidavit attesting to the absence, unless otherwise provided for herein, of any financing statement,

181claims of lien or potential lienors known to Seller and further attesting that there have been no improvements or repairs to the Real Property for 90 days imme-

182diately preceding date of Closing. If the Real Property has been improved or repaired within that time, Seller shall deliver releases or waivers of construction

183liens executed by all general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen in addition to Seller’s lien affidavit setting forth the names of all such gen-

184eral contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen, further affirming that all charges for improvements or repairs which could serve as a basis for a

185construction lien or a claim for damages have been paid or will be paid at the Closing of this Contract.

186H. PLACE OF CLOSING: Closing shall be held in the county wherein the Real Property is located at the office of the attorney or other closing agent (“Closing

187Agent”) designated by the party paying for title insurance, or, if no title insurance, designated by Seller.

189al legal holidays shall be excluded. Any time periods provided for herein which shall end on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday shall extend to 5:00 p.m. of the

190next business day. Time is of the essence in this Contract.

191J. CLOSING DOCUMENTS: Seller shall furnish the deed, bill of sale, certificate of title, construction lien affidavit, owner’s possession affidavit, assignments of leas-

192es, tenant and mortgagee estoppel letters and corrective instruments. Buyer shall furnish mortgage, mortgage note, security agreement and financing statements.

193K. EXPENSES: Documentary stamps on the deed and recording of corrective instruments shall be paid by Seller. All costs of Buyer’s loan (whether obtained

194from Seller or third party), including, but not limited to, documentary stamps and intangible tax on the purchase money mortgage and any mortgage assumed,

195mortgagee title insurance commitment with related fees, and recording of purchase money mortgage, deed and financing statements shall be paid by Buyer.

196Unless otherwise provided by law or rider to this Contract, charges for related closing services, title search, and closing fees (including preparation of closing

197statement), shall be paid by the party responsible for furnishing the title evidence in accordance with Paragraph V.

198L. PRORATIONS; CREDITS: Taxes, assessments, rent, interest, insurance and other expenses of the Property shall be prorated through the day before Closing.

199Buyer shall have the option of taking over existing policies of insurance, if assumable, in which event premiums shall be prorated. Cash at Closing shall be

200increased or decreased as may be required by prorations to be made through day prior to Closing, or occupancy, if occupancy occurs before Closing. Advance

201rent and security deposits will be credited to Buyer. Escrow deposits held by mortgagee will be credited to Seller. Taxes shall be prorated based on the current

202year’s tax with due allowance made for maximum allowable discount, homestead and other exemptions. If Closing occurs at a date when the current year’s mill-

203age is not fixed and current year’s assessment is available, taxes will be prorated based upon such assessment and prior year’s millage. If current year’s assess-

204ment is not available, then taxes will be prorated on prior year’s tax. If there are completed improvements on the Real Property by January 1st of year of Closing,

205which improvements were not in existence on January 1st of prior year, then taxes shall be prorated based upon prior year’s millage and at an equitable assess-

206ment to be agreed upon between the parties; failing which, request shall be made to the County Property Appraiser for an informal assessment taking into

207account available exemptions. A tax proration based on an estimate shall, at request of either party, be readjusted upon receipt of current year’s tax bill.

208M. (RESERVED - purposely left blank)

209N. INSPECTION AND REPAIR: DELETED

210O. RISK OF LOSS: If, after the Effective Date, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty (“Casualty Loss”) before Closing and cost of restoration (which

211shall include the cost of pruning or removing damaged trees) does not exceed 1.5% of the Purchase Price, cost of restoration shall be an obligation of Seller and

212Closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this Contract, and if restoration is not completed as of Closing, restoration costs will be escrowed at Closing. If

213the cost of restoration exceeds 1.5% of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall either take the Property as is, together with the 1.5% or receive a refund of deposit(s)

214thereby releasing Buyer and Seller from all further obligations under this Contract. Seller’s sole obligation with respect to tree damage by casualty or other natu-

215ral occurrence shall be the cost of pruning or removal.

216P. CLOSING PROCEDURE: The deed shall be recorded upon clearance of funds. If the title agent insures adverse matters pursuant to Section 627.7841,

217F.S., as amended, the escrow and closing procedure required by this “AS IS” Standard shall be waived. Unless waived as set forth above the following

218

“AS IS” STANDARDS FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

219closing procedures shall apply: (1) all closing proceeds shall be held in escrow by the Closing Agent for a period of not more than 5 days after Closing; (2)

220if Seller’s title is rendered unmarketable, through no fault of Buyer, Buyer shall, within the 5 day period, notify Seller in writing of the defect and Seller shall

221have 30 days from date of receipt of such notification to cure the defect; (3) if Seller fails to timely cure the defect, all deposits and closing funds shall, upon

222written demand by Buyer and within 5 days after demand, be returned to Buyer and, simultaneously with such repayment, Buyer shall return the Personal

223Property, vacate the Real Property and reconvey the Property to Seller by special warranty deed and bill of sale; and (4) if Buyer fails to make timely demand

224for refund, Buyer shall take title as is, waiving all rights against Seller as to any intervening defect except as may be available to Buyer by virtue of war-

225ranties contained in the deed or bill of sale.

226Q. ESCROW: Any Closing Agent or escrow agent (collectively “Agent”) receiving funds or equivalent is authorized and agrees by acceptance of them to deposit

227them promptly, hold same in escrow and, subject to clearance, disburse them in accordance with terms and conditions of this Contract. Failure of funds to

228clear shall not excuse Buyer’s performance. If in doubt as to Agent’s duties or liabilities under the provisions of this Contract, Agent may, at Agent’s option, con-

229tinue to hold the subject matter of the escrow until the parties hereto agree to its disbursement or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall

230determine the rights of the parties, or Agent may deposit same with the clerk of the circuit court having jurisdiction of the dispute. An attorney who represents

231a party and also acts as Agent may represent such party in such action. Upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of Agent

232shall fully terminate, except to the extent of accounting for any items previously delivered out of escrow. If a licensed real estate broker, Agent will comply with

233provisions of Chapter 475, F.S., as amended. Any suit between Buyer and Seller wherein Agent is made a party because of acting as Agent hereunder, or in

234any suit wherein Agent interpleads the subject matter of the escrow, Agent shall recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred with these amounts to

235be paid from and out of the escrowed funds or equivalent and charged and awarded as court costs in favor of the prevailing party. The Agent shall not be liable

236to any party or person for misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of items subject to the escrow, unless such misdelivery is due to willful breach of the provisions of this

237Contract or gross negligence of Agent.

238R. ATTORNEY’S FEES; COSTS: In any litigation, including breach, enforcement or interpretation, arising out of this Contract, the prevailing party in such liti-

239gation, which, for purposes of this ”AS IS” Standard, shall include Seller, Buyer and any brokers acting in agency or nonagency relationships authorized by

240Chapter 475, F.S., as amended, shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses.

241S. FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE: If Buyer fails to perform this Contract within the time specified, including payment of all deposits, the deposit(s) paid by

242Buyer and deposit(s) agreed to be paid, may be recovered and retained by and for the account of Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages, consideration for

243the execution of this Contract and in full settlement of any claims; whereupon, Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under this Contract; or Seller,

244at Seller’s option, may proceed in equity to enforce Seller’s rights under this Contract. If for any reason other than failure of Seller to make Seller’s title mar-
