New Mexico Real Estate Purchase Agreement

The real estate purchase agreement in New Mexico is a legally binding document that connects the seller of a residential property with a potential buyer. Within this agreement, the buyer specifies their monetary offer and terms, along with the closing date for the offer. The seller can negotiate, accept, or decline the offer until closing. Additionally, if the sale includes items like furniture, appliances, or utilities, the agreement should explicitly cover these.
