Buyer(s): [[Buyer Full Legal Name(s)]] ("Buyer")

and

Seller(s): [[Seller Full Legal Name(s)]] ("Seller")

(collectively, the "Parties").

1. Property

Seller agrees to sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, the real property located at:

[[Full Street Address]]
[[City]], Missouri [[ZIP Code]]

Legal description (or attach exhibit): [[Legal Description of Property or "See Exhibit A attached hereto"]]

The Property includes the land, all improvements, fixtures, and appurtenances, and the following personal property: [[List of Included Personal Property or "None"]].

2. Purchase Price

The total purchase price is $[[Purchase Price]] (the "Purchase Price"), payable as follows:

1. Earnest money deposit of $[[Earnest Money Amount]] due upon execution of this Agreement.

2. Balance due at closing in cash, wire transfer, or other immediately available funds (subject to financing contingency if applicable).

3. Earnest Money

The earnest money shall be deposited with [[Escrow Agent / Title Company Name or "the title company designated by the Parties"]] within [[Earnest Money Deposit Deadline, e.g. 3 business days]] after the last Party signs this Agreement. The earnest money shall be held in a non-interest-bearing escrow account unless otherwise agreed in writing. The earnest money shall be applied to the Purchase Price at closing or disbursed as provided in this Agreement upon termination.

4. Financing Contingency

This Agreement is contingent upon Buyer obtaining a firm commitment for a [[Conventional / FHA / VA / Other]] loan in the amount of approximately $[[Loan Amount]] on terms acceptable to Buyer within [[Financing Contingency Period, e.g. 21]] days after the Effective Date. Buyer shall apply for financing promptly and use reasonable efforts to obtain approval. If Buyer is unable to obtain financing, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller prior to the end of the contingency period and the earnest money shall be returned to Buyer.

Appraisal contingency: This Agreement is further contingent upon the Property appraising for at least the Purchase Price. If the appraisal is lower, the Parties may renegotiate or Buyer may terminate and receive return of earnest money.

5. Inspection and Due Diligence Period

Buyer shall have [[Inspection Period, e.g. 10]] days after the Effective Date (the "Inspection Period") to conduct inspections of the Property at Buyer's sole expense, including but not limited to whole-house, roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, septic/well, mold, radon, termite, and environmental inspections.

Seller shall provide reasonable access. Buyer may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason by delivering written notice to Seller prior to the end of the Inspection Period. Upon timely termination, the earnest money shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate, Buyer accepts the Property in its present condition subject to the terms of this Agreement.

6. Title and Survey

Seller shall convey marketable title to the Property by general warranty deed (or special warranty deed if customary in the area), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and exceptions except: current real estate taxes not yet due and payable, easements and restrictions of record that do not materially impair use, and any other matters approved by Buyer in writing.

Seller shall furnish a current title commitment within [[Title Deadline Days]] days. Buyer shall have [[Objection Period Days]] days after receipt to object to title defects. Seller shall have a reasonable time to cure. If uncured defects remain that render title unmarketable, Buyer may terminate and receive return of earnest money.

Survey: [[Buyer to obtain new survey at Buyer's expense / Seller to provide existing survey / Other]].

7. Closing

Closing shall occur on or before [[Closing Date]] (the "Closing Date") at the office of the title company or such other place as the Parties agree. At closing, Seller shall deliver the deed, keys, and possession (unless otherwise agreed), and Buyer shall pay the balance of the Purchase Price.

Possession shall be delivered to Buyer at closing unless a separate possession agreement is executed.

8. Prorations

At closing, the following items shall be prorated as of the Closing Date on a per diem basis using the actual number of days in the month:

• HOA dues and assessments

• Rents (if any)

• Utilities (final readings arranged by Seller)

• Any other items customarily prorated in the area.

9. Default and Remedies

If Buyer defaults, Seller may terminate and retain the earnest money as liquidated damages (not a penalty), or pursue other remedies including specific performance.

If Seller defaults, Buyer may terminate and receive return of earnest money plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, or pursue specific performance or other remedies available at law or equity.
