Helping in-laws close on a house in NYC. Does anyone have a sample contract that I can take a look at? We just got the contract to review but wanted to ask the bowl here if I should keep an eye out anything or any advice would be really helpful. First time home buyers!

It's probably all form language and you're agent is going to be better at reviewing it then you.

Attorney review is not mandatory in ny like in other states but highly recommend getting a real estate attorney

Get an attorney to do this!

Unlike commercial real estate, residential real estate contracts are very cookie cutter. But there are a few clauses I always stick in when buying houses for myself that I always stick into all of my commercial PSAs. You should certainly talk to an attorney, but anyone who does residential real estate exclusively won’t think of putting in what to me are very crucial clauses. DM me if you like.

Some agents are not sincere, and some houses have a negative record (this is what we call the incidents inside the homes), but many agents do not say it. I know it is about ethics, but at the same time, it should be punishable because you are deceiving a person to take advantage of the situation; it is a scam.
