Know what
you're signing before
you sign.
Drop a real-estate, rental, or vehicle contract into FinePrint. In ninety seconds you get a plain-English risk read, the three things worth negotiating, and a verdict you can take to your attorney.
Three contracts most people
sign without reading.
Different paperwork, same problem: long, dense, and tilted toward whoever drafted it. FinePrint reads each one against the standards for that type of agreement.
Real estate
Purchase agreements, FSBO contracts, listing agreements. Earnest money, inspection, financing, title, HOA, closing.
Rent & lease
Apartment leases, sublets, co-signer guarantees. Deposit caps, late fees, entry rules, early-termination penalties.
Car
New and used vehicle purchase, lease agreements, private sales. APR, add-ons, arbitration, mileage caps, GAP, lemon-law.
A second pair of eyes.
In ninety seconds.
FinePrint reads contracts the way a senior attorney in the relevant practice area would — clause by clause, in context, against your side of the table. It surfaces what's worth a closer look so your attorney's time is spent on the questions that matter.

Bring the report. Ask the sharp questions. Sign — or don't — with eyes open.
Fifteen-thousand-dollar deposit becomes non-refundable in seventy-two hours — before the inspection is complete.
Five-day inspection period against a ten-day industry standard. Push back.
Forty-eight hours pre-close is not enough time to read the bylaws.
Unlimited exposure post-inspection. Cap it at five thousand or convert to a flat credit.
The buyer can drag closing. Set a firm date with per-diem fees.
Spell out which appliances convey — don't leave it to "attached nature".
You cannot wholesale this contract. Add "and/or assigns" to the name line.
Adds roughly fifteen hundred dollars to closing. Renegotiate — seller normally pays in this market.
Hidden defects post-close are your problem. Price accordingly.
From "what does this mean"
to "here's what to ask."
FinePrint caught a seventy-two-hour earnest-money clause my agent had glossed over. Saved my fifteen-thousand-dollar deposit when financing got delayed.
My landlord wanted two and a half months as a deposit. FinePrint flagged it as unenforceable in my state. I came back with a screenshot of the law and they cut it to one month.
The dealer had bundled four thousand dollars of add-ons into the contract. FinePrint itemised them in plain English. We argued for an hour and left with the price I'd actually agreed to.
