Why Your Real Estate Agent MUST Understand the Contract Before You Sign

Why Your Real Estate Agent MUST Understand the Contract Before You Sign

In every real estate deal, the contract isn’t just paperwork—it’s your legal protection, your negotiation leverage, and your financial roadmap. But here’s the problem: too many agents treat the contract like an afterthought.

Whether you’re buying or selling, your agent should be able to walk you through each section of the agreement—clearly, confidently, and without skipping over the fine print. If they can’t explain it, they shouldn’t be sending it.

What’s at Risk When Your Agent Doesn’t Understand the Contract?

• Missed deadlines that could kill your deal or cost you your deposit
• Overlooked contingencies that expose you to legal or financial risk
• Poor negotiation language that weakens your position

Watch This Before You Sign Anything

Questions to Ask Your Agent Before You Submit a Contract

1. Can you walk me through the deadlines in this contract?
2. What happens if we don’t meet a contingency?
3. Is there anything I should be asking for before we submit?

If your agent struggles to answer these, it’s time to pause and reassess. The right agent won’t just send offers—they’ll protect your interest every step of the way.
