Mastering the FR/BAR Contracts: When to Use Standard vs. As Is 9.9.26

Not all contracts are created equal. Choosing between the FR/BAR Standard and As Is Residential Contracts can directly impact repair negotiations, buyer protections, timelines, and overall transaction risk.

Join Real Estate Attorney Andrew Conaboy for an in-depth, Realtor-focused breakdown of both contracts and how their differences affect your deals from offer to closing. This session goes beyond the basics to help you confidently navigate the provisions that most often create confusion, negotiation friction, and costly mistakes.

Topics include:

  • Key differences between the FR/BAR Standard and As Is Residential Contracts
  • How each contract affects repair obligations and buyer protections
  • Inspection timelines and what’s actually required under each form
  • Provisions that commonly create confusion and negotiation friction
  • How to choose the right contract for your client’s situation
  • Best practices for drafting, reviewing, and explaining both contracts with confidence

Whether you are new to real estate or a seasoned professional, this class will help you write stronger contracts, anticipate issues earlier, and guide clients with greater clarity and confidence.

Here's How It Works:

Simple Submission: Using Payload, you can send your EMD funds. The platform is designed to ensure your transaction is both secure and hassle-free.

Transparent Fee Structure: A nominal processing fee of $12.00 will be applied to your transaction. This fee is disclosed during the submission process.

Instant Confirmation: Once your transaction is completed, you’ll receive an immediate confirmation email from Payload. Our accounting team will also be promptly notified, usually within minutes of the transfer.

Specifically for EMD: Payload is exclusively for submitting your Earnest Money Deposit ONLY. It is not to be used for final closing proceeds or any other payments.

Deposit Limit: To maintain the integrity of our process, we have set a maximum deposit amount of $100,000.00 for EMD submissions.
