A Contract for Deed is a Seller financing agreement:
The seller/vendor retains legal title to the property until the buyer/vendee honors the contract.
The buyer takes possession upon the terms set in the contract.
When the purchase price is fully paid, the seller delivers a Warranty Deed (or other deed) transferring legal title.
A South Dakota Contract for Deed is often used when:
The buyer cannot meet the terms for bank financing.
-For example, limited/poor credit history or nontraditional income.
Rural property or agricultural land is being sold, where traditional lending is limited.
The seller wants to sell quickly or avoid bank involvement.
Investment or estate sales where seller wants steady income and potential tax deferral.
Small-town or private party sales, common outside Sioux Falls or Rapid City.
It’s valid for both residential and commercial/agricultural property, as long as:
Both parties are competent adults,
The property is legally describable, and
This contract complies with SD recording requirements or offers the option to record a Memorandum of Contract for Deed.

Easy from the download to just fill out and print. Good instructions to follow. A cover letter form would be a extra plus

The form itself was very good and easy to use. The only problem I had was the Sample they provided. Using a different name in every spot doesnt help determine what goes where. Using "Theodore Rockafeller" as Lien Claimant in one spot and Jebediah Finklestein in another then Harvey Johnson in the last spot is confusing if you really need a helpful sample.
Thank you for your feedback James. We will have staff review the completed example to see if we can make it more helpful. Have a great day!

Form is easy to complete but has a crowded look upon printing. I would put more returns between paragraphs to make it easier to read.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Easy to use service. However, the product that I purchased did not meet my needs. No fault of the company.
Thank you for your feedback Chuck. We certainly don't want you to purchase something you can not use. We have canceled your order and payment. Have a wonderful day.

A better or more simplified explanation of what some of the more common titles would be used for would help. You list 6-8 types of Trusts alone. An example of doing a Grant Deed to move a property into, out of, or from a Trust to a Trust would have been helpful.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
