The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer has had a full and adequate opportunity to inspect the Property prior to the execution of this Agreement and accepts the Property in its current condition as described herein.
The total purchase price for the Property is [sale_price] (the "Purchase Price"), payable in full by the Buyer to the Seller on or before the Sale Date. The Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price represents the fair and agreed-upon value of the Property as negotiated between the Parties at arm's length. Upon receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller shall be deemed to have been fully compensated for the sale, transfer, and conveyance of the Property, and the Seller shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to the Property or the Purchase Price.
The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer that: (a) the Seller is the sole and lawful owner of the Property and has full right, power, and authority to sell, transfer, and convey the Property to the Buyer; (b) the Property is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, pledges, claims, charges, and restrictions of any kind whatsoever; (c) the Seller has not previously sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise encumbered the Property or any interest therein to any other person or entity; and (d) the Seller will defend the Buyer's title to the Property against any and all claims and demands of any person or entity claiming an interest therein.

Title to and risk of loss of the Property shall pass from the Seller to the Buyer upon the execution of this Agreement and payment of the Purchase Price. From and after the transfer of title, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for the Property, including its care, maintenance, insurance, and all risks of loss, damage, theft, or destruction. The Seller agrees to execute and deliver to the Buyer any and all additional documents, instruments, or certificates as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence or effectuate the transfer of title to the Property.

In Ohio real estate transactions, the transfer of personal property—such as high-end appliances, window treatments, or furniture—is often where commission disputes and disclosure violations arise. While the deed handles the real property, an Ohio-specific Bill of Sale is critical to satisfy the Statute of Frauds (Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05) for items exceeding $500. For agents, this document mitigates fiduciary duty breaches by providing a clear, 'as-is' record of the transfer, ensuring compliance with both RESPA and Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act standards during closing.
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.
For this bill of sale to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)
Governs real estate transactions involving a federally related mortgage loan, ensuring transparency regarding settlement costs.
Enforced by Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
Fair Housing Act
Prohibits discrimination in housing activities, including real estate transactions.
Enforced by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
State Real Estate Commission Regulations
Each state has its own real estate commission that provides rules for licensure and professional conduct for real estate agents.
Enforced by State Real Estate Commissions (varies by state)
Recommended coverage: Errors & Omissions Insurance (E&O) · General Liability Insurance
Under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05, the Statute of Frauds requires transfers of goods exceeding certain values to be in writing. Including personal property in the real estate purchase agreement can complicate mortgage underwriting under RESPA; a separate Bill of Sale clarifies ownership and prevents later claims of disclosure violations or breach of fiduciary duty.
Yes, by including an express 'as-is' disclaimer and a detailed description of the item’s condition, you mitigate the risk of being accused of 'unfair or deceptive acts' under the Ohio CSPA. It provides a documented buyer acknowledgment of the property's state at the time of the transfer.
While not always strictly required for all personal items, Ohio real estate agents typically utilize notarization for high-value items or when the items are included as part of a complex escrow settlement to ensure the document's enforceability and prevent future disputes over the authenticity of signatures.
