A Memorandum of Contract is a short-form document recorded with the Registry of Deeds to provide constructive notice of a pending or existing agreement involving the purchase or transfer of real estate.

Identifies the parties
Describes the property
States that there is a contract to sell
May include closing date or conditions
Often omits purchase price or other confidential terms
For use in Massachusetts only.

It worked great- I had a little trouble at first with the site, figuring out where to do what, but the form was much better than the one we purchased at Staples, loved being able to fill out with the computer. We did need the other form as per the screen prior to ordering but couldn't figure out which one. The ladies at the recorders were great too.
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

Very easy to use. However, the "sample" filled in red ink did not print for me to refer to. Is that the correct desire, not to print?
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Messaging system should reach customer email. It took me a couple of days to find out the processor had messaged me. A customer notification should be implemented for every message left in the account.
Thank you!
