Selling and buying homes is a generally standardized process and the contracts used are similar throughout, but there are modifications that you can make to ensure that all of your needs are contractually protected. Your realtor has the authority to make changes along the lines of approving the contract, rejecting the contract, and negotiating modifications to the contract.

A good attorney will be sure to protect their client's interests while, at the same time, working to achieve a meeting of the minds between the parties so as to prevent the deal from falling through. Our Scott County real estate contract attorneys ensure the best service when it comes to modification of contracts.
