Course Details
2 CLE Credits is available for each course.
Participants are presented with the following scenario: Your firm represents ABC Builders, a national home builder that sells homes to consumers. ABC Builders is purchasing 50 finished lots within the Green Acres subdivision from a regional developer. Your client intends to build a single-family home on each of the 50 lots. In total, the subdivision will contain 450 homes. The other 400 homes will be built by two other home builders who have also purchased lots from the developer. The developer is responsible for the construction and completion of: the roads within the subdivision, utility lines, water/sewer pipe connections to the finished lots, and all recreational amenities within the subdivision. The developer will also create a homeowners association for the subdivision. The partner who heads the real estate practice group in your firm has given you a letter of intent, which contains some of the key terms the developer and your client have agreed upon, along with a purchase and sale agreement that was used previously in a similar purchase and sale transaction. Participants are asked to prepare an initial draft of the purchase and sale agreement using the letter of intent.
