New Multi-Board Residential Real Estate Contract
A few years ago the Illinois Real Estate Lawyers Association (IRELA) drafted a form contract called the Multi-Board Residential Real Estate Contract 3.0 -- the form is available as a pdf document here.
Contract 3.0 was very good, and pretty widely accepted in the Chicago area -- it was approved by the Chicago Association of Realtors as well as attorney and realtor groups in DuPage, Lake, Kane, and McHenry counties (among others).
IRELA has now prepared a new version of the Contract (4.0), which is available to its members on IRELA's website -- hopefully a version of Contract 4.0 will become available to the general public in the near future.
The website also includes commentaries related to Contract 4.0 -- because IRELA's site is so horrible to navigate, I've linked to these commentaries (all of which are pdf documents) below:
