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.

As an Ohio real estate investor, a Bill of Sale is critical for separating personal property—such as HVAC units, appliances, or staging furniture—from the real property deed. Under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.05 (Statute of Frauds), transactions over $500 must be in writing to be enforceable. By utilizing a specialized Bill of Sale, you mitigate tenant liability and property defect risks while ensuring your 1031 exchange or cash-on-cash return calculations remain accurate through clear asset valuation and as-is disclaimers.
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.
While not always mandatory for low-value personalty, Ohio law and best practices for high-value investment transactions suggest notarization or witness verification to ensure enforceability and prevent ownership disputes. This is particularly vital when the Bill of Sale is used to substantiate asset values for financing or during due diligence.
This statute represents Ohio's Statute of Frauds, which requires that any contract for the sale of goods over $500 be in writing. For real estate investors, this means that even if a verbal agreement exists for the transfer of equipment or furniture, it is legally unenforceable in Ohio courts without a signed, written Bill of Sale.
Yes. Including a 'Warranties and Disclaimers' section with an 'As-Is' clause is a standard mitigation strategy for Ohio investors to limit liability regarding the condition of transferred personal property, provided it does not violate the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act in specific retail-like scenarios.
