Why Contract Knowledge Matters

Real estate licensees rely on contracts to list, sell, lease, and manage property, so knowing exactly what each contract says—and what it requires—helps you guide clients confidently and avoid costly mistakes.

From listing agreements to sales contracts and lease forms, every document outlines the terms and conditions that all parties must accept before a transaction can move forward.

• Use the correct contract for listings, sales, rentals, and property management.
• Explain key clauses clearly to buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants.
• Reduce risk by understanding what makes a contract valid and enforceable.
