Which party signs last in a form F real estate transaction?

In a Form F real estate transaction, the seller is the party that signs last. This process is formalized to ensure that upon the seller's final signature, the agreement is complete and binding. The seller’s signature indicates their acceptance of the contract's terms and conditions after all prior actions, including negotiations and potential amendments, have been finalized.

The sequence of signing is structured to reflect the transaction's logical flow: the buyer typically signs first to indicate their offer and commitment to the deal. Following the buyer’s signature, the estate agent may sign to validate the transaction and confirm their involvement. Finally, the seller's signature serves as the concluding point of the agreement, solidifying their endorsement of the contract and completing the transaction process.

This specific signing order is critical for establishing the finality of the agreement and protecting the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
