Abstracts
a. VA Form 26-6705 is completed by private sector sales broker to
submit an offer to purchase VA-acquired property on behalf of a
prospective buyer. VA Form 26-6705 becomes a contract of sale if VA
accepts the offer to purchase. It serves as a receipt for the
prospective buyer for his/her earnest money deposit, describes the
terms of sale, and eliminates the need for separate transmittal of a
purchase offer.
b. VA Form 26-6705b is used as a credit application to determine
the prospective buyer creditworthiness in instances when the
prospective buyer seeks VA vendee financing. In such sales, the offer
to purchase will not be accepted until the buyer's income and credit
history have been verified and a loan analysis has been completed.
c. VA Form 26-6705d is used in the state of Virginia. The form
requires the buyer to be informed of the State's law at or prior to
closing the transaction.
