Agreement of Sale

A contract by which two parties (a buyer and a seller) consent to the sale of some property.

This term is used most commonly in real estate, but it may apply correctly to any sale involving a written document detailing a transaction.

In a few states, however, the term refers specifically to a type of seller financing also called a bond for title, land sale contract,or contract for deed.In that instance,the seller retains legal title to the property until the purchaser has made all payments over the term of the financing period. At the end, if there has been no default, the seller executes a deed to the buyer. This device is often used in high-risk financing situations because it can often avoid legal protections given to the buyer in the event of foreclosure or bankruptcy.
