As a Massachusetts real estate agent, clear separation between real property and personal property (chattel) is critical for RESPA compliance and avoiding Chapter 93A consumer protection claims. While the deed handles the land, a dedicated Bill of Sale is essential for high-value items like appliances, custom furniture, or specialized equipment included in the MLS listing. Under M.G.L. ch. 106, § 2-201, any sale of goods over $500 must be in writing to be enforceable. Using a professional document ensures that escrow closes smoothly, earnest money remains protected, and your fiduciary duty to accurately disclose the condition of included items is fulfilled to mitigate breach of duty risks.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Real Estate Agent:
A Bill of Sale serves the core legal purpose of providing proof of the transfer of ownership of an item from the seller to the buyer. It formalizes the transaction and fulfills the legal need for documentation of the sale, aiding in preventing disputes over ownership and clarifying the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved.
Disclosure Violations
Using detailed disclosure forms and checklists mandated by state laws to ensure all known defects and issues with a property are disclosed to the buyer.

The Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A) prohibits unfair or deceptive acts. If an agent misrepresents the condition of personal property included in a home sale—such as high-end kitchen appliances—they can be liable for triple damages. A clear Bill of Sale with an 'As-Is' clause helps mitigate this liability.
Lenders often require that personal property be excluded from the real estate contract to avoid issues with the mortgage loan-to-value ratio. Using a separate Bill of Sale ensures RESPA compliance and prevents delays in the closing of the federally related mortgage loan.
While not strictly required by M.G.L. ch. 106 for the transfer of most goods, notarization is highly recommended for high-value transactions to verify the identity of the parties and prevent ownership disputes, especially when large earnest money deposits are involved.
Yes. To be enforceable, the disclaimer of warranties must be conspicuous. Our document incorporates standard Massachusetts language to ensure that once the buyer takes possession, the risk of loss or defect shifts away from the seller and the agent.
