Intent to Purchase Real Estate

Formally expresses intent to purchase a property. Sets proposed price, contingencies, and timeline before the purchase agreement.

Why you need one

Serious buyer signal

Shows the seller you're serious about buying — not just tire-kicking. Sets a professional tone.

Framework for negotiation

Establishes key terms before lawyers draft the full purchase agreement — saves time and money.

Contingency framework

Documents inspection, financing, and appraisal contingencies before the binding contract.

Exclusivity option

Can include an exclusivity period so the seller doesn't shop your offer while you do due diligence.
