When a licensee is writing an offer to purchase for a buyer, the standard preprinted clauses on a contract form SHOULD be:

Modifying standard preprinted clauses can lead to misunderstandings and potential legal issues if the changes are not clearly communicated or documented. The purpose of these clauses is to provide a common framework that is understood by all parties involved, and altering them without proper explanation could create confusion.

While having an attorney involved in real estate transactions is beneficial, it is not a requirement for completing standard preprinted clauses. Licensees are trained to fill out these forms accurately, and the legal review typically occurs later in the process, if necessary. This choice suggests that only attorneys can handle these clauses, which is not accurate.

Notarization is not a standard requirement for preprinted clauses in a purchase offer. Notarization usually pertains to signatures on documents rather than the clauses themselves. Therefore, suggesting that these clauses should be notarized does not align with standard real estate practices.
