Real Estate Agreement Form

Use a Real Estate Agreement template to make your document workflow more streamlined.

What the Real Estate Agreement Form does

A Real Estate Agreement Form records the terms, parties, obligations, and signatures for a property-related transaction. It can identify the buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, broker, or other participant; describe the property; state financial and timing terms; and capture agreed conditions. With signNow, upload the agreement, let the platform detect fillable fields, add or review signature and date fields, send it to the required parties, and store the completed document with its audit trail. Enforceability still depends on the agreement, applicable state law, and any required notarization or recording.

Business types using real estate agreements

Real estate agreements serve independent brokers, property operators, and larger organizations that need documented approval and signing workflows.

  • Solo real estate brokers can send purchase agreements, lease documents, and disclosures without coordinating repeated office visits.
  • Property management companies can route rental agreements to tenants, owners, and internal approvers while preserving completed records.
  • Real estate enterprises can standardize agreement templates, delegate sending, and monitor signing activity across regional teams.

These tasks are executed by both individual contributors and centralized administrators depending on organizational policy and required controls.

Platform requirements for signing

A Real Estate Agreement Form can be prepared and signed through signNow using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge on Windows and macOS. signNow also provides mobile apps for iOS and Android, allowing parties to review assigned fields and sign from supported mobile devices.

  • Browsers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
  • Desktop systems Windows and macOS desktop access
  • Mobile apps iOS and Android mobile apps

Organizations should confirm that managed devices permit document access, recipient authentication, and secure downloads.

Troubleshooting real estate agreements

Resolve signing, authentication, compliance, and plan questions before sending a Real Estate Agreement Form to the parties.

Business includes legally binding eSignatures, templates, audit trails, and mobile apps at $8/user/month when billed annually. Confirm that the agreement does not require an excluded document type, notarization, or recording step outside the electronic workflow.

Business Premium includes bulk send at $15/user/month billed annually. Use it when the same agreement structure must be sent to multiple separate recipients; otherwise, Business provides templates and audit trails without bulk-send functionality.

The platform supports ESIGN and UETA compliance, but those frameworks do not make every real estate instrument electronically sufficient. Check state recording rules, deed requirements, notarization, and any transaction-specific instructions before relying on an electronic signature.

Use signNow's audit trail to review signer identity details, timestamps, actions, and completion history. For stronger attribution, configure available signer authentication, such as SMS verification, and retain the certificate and completed agreement together.

signNow encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2/1.3 and at rest with AES-256. Limit access through organizational controls, verify recipient addresses, and avoid placing unnecessary personal or financial information in shared agreement copies.

A signNow subscription includes 100 signature invites per user per year, with overage fees after the included allowance. The Site License uses $1.50 per signature invite and is designed for usage-based volume with unlimited users.
