Frequently asked questions

Q

How does CaseMark draft a residential purchase agreement?

A

CaseMark analyzes your uploaded documents including property information, correspondence, and transaction terms to extract key details like purchase price, parties, financing terms, and contingencies. The AI then generates a comprehensive purchase agreement with all essential provisions customized to your specific transaction. You can review and refine the draft before finalizing it for client execution.

Q

What information do I need to provide to draft a purchase agreement?

A

At minimum, you need the property address and basic transaction terms like purchase price and parties' names. CaseMark works best when you upload additional documents such as property records, title documents, negotiation correspondence, or disclosure statements. The AI will identify any missing information and prompt you to provide necessary details for a complete agreement.

Q

Are the purchase agreements compliant with state-specific requirements?

A

Yes, CaseMark incorporates state-specific legal requirements and standard provisions for residential real estate transactions. The AI includes mandatory disclosures, required contingency language, and jurisdiction-specific terms. However, you should always review the agreement to ensure compliance with your specific state and local regulations, and the output is designed for attorney review before execution.

Q

A

Absolutely. CaseMark generates a comprehensive base agreement that you can fully customize to address unique circumstances like seller financing, post-closing occupancy, special contingencies, or unusual property conditions. The AI adapts to your specific transaction details while ensuring all standard provisions are included. You maintain complete control over the final document.

A
