I would have to look at the contents of the note to answer the question.

Re: Real Estate Contract
A promissory note is only an obligation to pay a certain amount to someone. It is not a contract for sale. However, it would be unusual to have only a promissory note and no contract. Typically, a deed of trust would be executed at the same time. Are you the buyer or seller? Was there title insurance?
