The Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and accepts from the Seller, the following described personal property (the "Property"): [item_description]. 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.
Upon execution of this Agreement and receipt of the Purchase Price in full, the Seller hereby irrevocably transfers, assigns, and conveys to the Buyer all of the Seller's right, title, and interest in and to the Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims of any kind. 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.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. 5.4 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both Parties. 5.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 5.6 Binding Effect.

As a Washington Real Estate Agent, navigating the separation of real property from personal property is critical for RESPA compliance and avoiding disclosure violations. Beyond the MLS listing, a formal Bill of Sale ensures that items like high-end appliances, garden equipment, or custom furniture are transferred legally under Washington's Statute of Frauds (RCW 19.36.010). By clearly defining ownership before escrow closes, you mitigate the risk of breach of fiduciary duty and ensure that community property interests under RCW 26.16 are properly addressed, protecting your commission and your client's interests.
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.
While RCW 19.36.010 requires contracts to be in writing, notarization is not strictly mandated for all personal property. However, for high-value items or to meet the 'Enforceability' guidelines for Washington real estate transactions, notarization is highly recommended to prevent future ownership disputes during the closing process.
Under RCW 26.16, property acquired during marriage is generally considered community property. When an agent facilitates the sale of personal property, it is vital to have both spouses sign the Bill of Sale to ensure the transfer is valid and to protect against future claims from a non-signing spouse.
While often referenced in contingencies, lenders and RESPA guidelines generally prefer personal property to be handled via a separate Bill of Sale to avoid inflating the mortgage value and to ensure clear title transfer of non-real-estate items without complicating the HUD-1 settlement statement.
