🏛️ State License Law 📍 New Jersey

📖 What you need to know

Standard New Jersey residential contracts prepared by a real estate licensee are subject to a 3-business-day attorney-review period, during which either party's attorney may disapprove or modify the contract. Earnest money and other client deposits must be placed in the broker's trust (escrow) account and kept separate from the brokerage's own funds. New Jersey is not a community-property state, so marital property interests are determined under its own equitable rules rather than community-property law.
