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.
5.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the transaction is consummated, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. 5.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the sale and purchase of the Property. 5.3 Severability. 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 Maryland real estate investor, a Bill of Sale is critical for formalizing the transfer of tangible personal property, such as HVAC units, appliances, or staging furniture, separate from the real property deed. This document prevents ownership disputes and provides the 'as-is' disclaimer necessary to mitigate property defect liabilities. By referencing Md. Code Com. Law § 2-201, you ensure your transaction for goods over $500 is legally enforceable, while explicitly defining the purchase price and asset condition to protect your cap rate and cash-on-cash returns from future litigation or lien claims.
Beyond the standard bill of sale sections, this template adds fields specific to Real Estate Investor:
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.
Tenant liability
Mitigated through comprehensive lease agreements that clearly outline tenant responsibilities, liabilities, and landlord’s rights.
Zoning violations
Ensured compliance by conducting thorough land use research and consulting with legal professionals for zoning compliance prior to property acquisition.
According to Md. Code Com. Law § 2-201, any sale of goods exceeding $500 must be in writing to be legally enforceable. For real estate investors transferring significant fixtures or equipment separate from the land, a written Bill of Sale is required to prove valid title and prevent disputes over ownership and asset value.
Yes. Including an 'As-Is' clause under the Warranties and Disclaimers section is a standard mitigation strategy for property defects. While Maryland has strict Consumer Protection laws, clearly stating that the buyer accepts the item's current condition protects the investor from future maintenance claims, provided there is no fraudulent concealment of known issues.
Absolutely. Maryland law (Md. Code Ann., Comm. Law § 16-101) recognizes specific personal property and agricultural liens. Investors must ensure the Seller’s Representations clause explicitly states the asset is free from any such state-specific encumbrances to ensure a clean transfer for 1031 exchange or financing purposes.
While not always mandatory for low-value personal property, Maryland law often requires or highly recommends notarization for high-value assets or documents that may be used in court to prove ownership transfer. For real estate investors, notarization adds a layer of authenticity that helps mitigate risks during due diligence or audits.
