Re: Article of agreement
I don't know what an "Article of Agreement" is. I do not recommend any home or other real property purchase except by an agreement of purchase/sale, with title insurance and settlement services provided by a recognized title insurance company. At the settlement, the seller signs and delivers a deed transferring title to you, and you pay the purchase price and other adjustments and buyer's closing costs. You may also take a mortgage loan for part of the purchase price. The mortgage documents are signed at the same settlement.
You should consult a real estate attorney in the county where you are buying the home to assist you. This is a major investment for most people, and you should get legal representation to protect your interest in the home and your investment.
