AI Prompt: Draft a Residential Purchase Agreement (California-Compliant)

Generate a complete residential purchase agreement compliant with California real estate law, with built-in disclosures, contingencies, and citation safety.

The Prompt

model-agnostic prompt
#1: Residential Purchase Agreement

You are an experienced real estate attorney drafting a residential purchase agreement.

TRANSACTION DETAILS:
- Property: [ADDRESS], [CITY], [STATE] [ZIP]
- Purchase Price: $[AMOUNT]
- Earnest Money: $[AMOUNT] held by [ESCROW AGENT]
- Closing Date: [DATE]
- Financing: [CONVENTIONAL/FHA/VA/CASH]
- Contingencies: Inspection ([X] days), Appraisal, Financing ([X] days), Title Review ([X] days)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Draft a complete purchase agreement compliant with [STATE] real estate law.
2. Include standard contingencies for inspection, appraisal, financing, and title.
3. Include seller disclosure requirements per [STATE] statute (cite the specific statute).
4. Add a liquidated damages clause for buyer default tied to earnest money.
5. Include HOA provisions if applicable.
6. ANTI-HALLUCINATION RULE: If you are uncertain about a specific [STATE] statutory requirement, write "[VERIFY: specific requirement needs attorney confirmation]" instead of fabricating a citation.

Output the agreement in standard contract format with numbered paragraphs.

  This prompt forces the AI to handle jurisdiction-specific disclosure requirements — which vary dramatically between states. California's Transfer Disclosure Statement (Cal. Civ. Code § 1102) has different requirements than New York's Property Condition Disclosure Act (NY Real Prop. Law § 462), and the prompt's anti-hallucination rule ensures the AI flags uncertainty rather than inventing statutory citations.

Expected Output

A numbered, California-compliant residential purchase agreement with disclosures, contingencies, liquidated damages clause, and bracketed [VERIFY] flags wherever the AI is uncertain about a statutory citation.

Usage Notes

Always verify any cited California Civil Code section against the current statute. Pair with a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) and Natural Hazard Disclosure (NHD) before signature.
