1. Seller Financing Purchase and Sale Agreement
• Purpose: A Purchase and Sale Agreement (sometimes referred to a Land Cotract) with seller financing outlines the terms of the sale of the property and specifies that the seller will provide financing to the buyer. It functions as a contract between the buyer and seller that details the sale price, terms of financing (interest rate, payment schedule), contingencies, and other aspects of the transaction.
• Parties: This agreement involves the buyer and seller.
To protect both parties. The title company shall serve as the escrow agent for the closing of this transaction. All documents and funds necessary to the completion of the transaction shall be placed in escrow five days prior to the closing. This agreement is to serve as escrow instructions for the closing of this transaction; the escrow agent may attach standard Conditions of Acceptance, insofar as the same is not inconsistent with the terms of this agreement. Seller shall pay out of the purchase price through escrow: (a) all costs associated with preparation of the deed; (b) all fees for filing the deed; (c) any amounts due Buyer by reason of prorations; and (d) one-half of the escrow fee. Buyer shall pay: (a) one-half of the escrow fee; (b) the cost of the title search; (c) the premium for the title commitment and the owner's fee policy of insurance; (d) any prorations due Seller; (e) all fees associated with the preparation and filing of Buyers mortgage; and (f) the real estate transfer tax.
title shall transfer to Buyer upon the expiration of the installment payment period, or thirty days after Seller's receipt that the balance of the purchase price has been deposited in escrow, whichever is earlier, or at such other time as the parties may agree in writing. The closing date may be extended or shortened upon written agreement of the parties
Finance: Traditional Finance with installments or with a balloon payment apply.
Default: In the event that the Buyer fails to make any installment payment when due under this Agreement, or fails to perform any of the other covenants or obligations required by this Agreement, and such default continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice of default has been given to the Buyer by the Seller, the Seller may declare the entire remaining unpaid balance of the purchase price immediately due and payable, and the Seller shall have the right to foreclose upon the property under the Power of Sale contained herein, subject to the provisions outlined.
Power of Sale - No Court Involvement: The foreclosure is completed without the need for court intervention unless the borrower files a lawsuit to challenge the foreclosure.
Timeframe: Non-judicial foreclosures in Georgia can be relatively quick, typically taking 30 to 60 days from the time of default to the foreclosure sale.
Use this form for the sale of residential, rental, condominiums, vacant land and planned unit developments.
For use in Georgia only.

Might be adequate if I was desperate. Formatting screams amateur hour -- not a legal issue but likely to invite closer scrutiny when filed. Instructions were supposed to be county-specific but directed me to call the recorder to ask them how to fill out part of the form. Not planning to use the form and would not purchase it again. I could probably do better by uploading some examples and the original mortgage from the Recorder's website into Claude along with the transaction-specific information and asking Claude to prepare a more professional release.
Aaron, we’re sorry the form and instructions did not meet your expectations. Your order has been canceled and your payment refunded. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best with preparing the release in the way that works best for your situation.

After some initial general confusion -- (we sold a small piece of land privately and therefore do not typically prepare such documentation (!)) -- we were able to purchase and download all forms from Deeds.com and understand how to complete it/them. The help is all there, we just needed to read and study it - the "Example" helped alot. We were able to complete the Document per your online form(s) and then take it to be signed/notarized - and take the completed paper document to the Registry -- and it is now all registered and we are All Set. Took the morning (only). THANK YOU. A wonderful tool!!
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

The site delivered just what it promised - I needed a specific deed formatted for a specific county/state, and they delivered it at a great price. One note for improvement - it is not intuitively obvious that I could go back and re-download if necessary and this caused me stress, but a follow up email alleviated this. Great service!
Thank you for the kind words Bobby, have a great day!

Contents were well done. Could not remove and replace the "Deeds/" footer, rendering the form unusable for filing with a court and county deed records. This should be corrected.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
