Purchase Agreement Review — Understand What You're Signing Before Closing

Purchase agreements are written by the selling party's attorney — which means the defaults favor the seller. Contingency windows that expire before you can act, earnest money terms that are hard to get back, and as-is disclaimers that eliminate recourse are standard in many agreements. Revealr reads your purchase contract and surfaces the clauses that most commonly create problems for buyers before closing day.

  • Full clause-by-clause review — every section, not just the highlights
  • Risk score 0–100 — understand severity at a glance
  • Plain-English explanations — no legal jargon required
  • Specific action steps — exactly what to negotiate or ask
  • PDF + email delivery — share with the other party or an attorney

What Revealr Checks in Purchase and Sale Agreements

Here is what a Revealr analysis looks like for a real Residential Purchase Agreement.

74 / 100
CRITICAL§6.2
Earnest Money: Non-Refundable After 3 Days

Earnest money becomes non-refundable 3 business days after signing, even if the financing contingency has not yet expired. This creates a window where you could lose your deposit while still working to secure a loan.

→ Request that earnest money remain refundable through the financing contingency deadline, not on a separate shorter timeline.
WARNING§4.1
Inspection Contingency: 7-Day Window Only

The inspection period is 7 calendar days from acceptance. This is a short window for scheduling inspections, reviewing reports, and negotiating repairs. Many markets allow 10–14 days.

→ Request 10–14 days for the inspection contingency, or confirm you can schedule an inspector within 2–3 days of signing.

How to Use a Purchase Agreement Review to Negotiate Better Terms

Homebuyers reviewing their purchase contract
You want to understand contingency deadlines, earnest money exposure, and default terms before you sign
Real estate investors
You review purchase agreements regularly and want a fast first-pass tool to flag unusual or one-sided terms
Anyone making their first property purchase
Real estate contracts are long and complex. A plain-English review helps you ask the right questions before closing

Purchase agreements can be 20–40 pages with dozens of contingencies, deadlines, and default clauses. Missing a single deadline — like a financing contingency expiration — can put your earnest money at risk.
