There are many ways to lock up a deal.  When I first started I was afraid to lock up homeowners with sales contracts as I didn't know how to present it.  That being the case, I started with the NJ option contract below.

- Option Contract to Purchase Real Estate

As time went by, I got very comfortable communicating with homeowners and i moved over into sale contracts.

- Conventional Sales Contract

This is a contract I use to lock up deals on the MLS
- NJ Realtors Sales Contract

Locking up Properties under a Land Trust
- Declaration of Trust
- Affidavit of Trust
- Appointment of Trustee
- Notice of Termination of Trustee
- Trustee Authorization to Convey Property
