#1 Why do I need a sample document?
Reviewing a sample document can help you learn useful techniques and language from others who have already used documents successfully
#2 Can just I change the names and re-use the sample document?
You are only allowed to download and review the documents to learn from them, you still need to draft your own documents from professional document templates, or draft your own original documents. Many of the forms have copyright protection and you are not allowed to copy and use them wihout the express written consent of their creator.
Who created DocuSample™ and why did they create it?
Founder Vince Sheehan has been a real estate agent and broker for over 43 years since he was 18 years old in 1976. When Vince started in San Francisco, California, in real estate, he had to rely on other agents in the office to show him what to write on real estate forms. There were no sample completed contracts and forms. As a broker, Vince has mentored and taught new and veteran agents throughout his career, and had to “recreate the wheel” of forms most times his agents had never completed, did not understand or forgot how to complete. Over the past 40_ years, the numbers of transactional forms and documents have increased expotentially. Hence, Vince had the vision of DocuSample™, a simple directory of real “used” and “already completed” documents, contracts, addendums and disclosure forms that are used in real estate today.
