A sale note is a written memorandum of a sale delivered to the buyer by the broker responsible for the sale. It outlines the terms of the sale and is given to both the buyer and seller. It is an important document that serves as proof of the transaction.
For example, if you buy a car from a dealership, the salesperson will give you a sale note that includes the make and model of the car, the price, and any other terms of the sale. This document is important because it proves that you bought the car and agreed to the terms of the sale.
Sale notes are commonly used in real estate transactions, where they are also known as purchase agreements or contracts. They are also used in the sale of other big-ticket items, such as boats, planes, and heavy equipment.
