The seller will want to be sure
that the contract specifies that
(1) s/he (the seller) is entitled to damages (usually the deposit)
if the buyer does not fulfill his or her end of the contract
- the amount can vary from as low as 1% to as much as 10%, generally
depending upon the location
(2) all statements made about the property by the seller are
accurate
(3) any of the buyer's contingencies - like inspections or financing
- will be taken care of in a reasonable amount of time
