Selling real estate in the early 80's was not as stressful as today. Perhaps the lack of stress was due to a lack of knowledge. We had no idea what pitfalls might be ahead of us.
Our one page form was certainly easier. I have kept lots of my old files and that form was something! I have even kept one of them for use today when a FSBO friend comes in and wants a form for selling his/her property. I just run off a copy and keep my original.
Now we have a 10 page form in Arkansas. No telling how many pages are used in California. We find that if we study CA we'll know what will be happening in our state in 5 or 10 years. Our form is reportedly a good one, however, and is drawn up by a very good attorney. Mostly it will successfully keep us out of trouble.
With the number of forms needed today I find it worth while to go to the office to make copies. The heavy duty copier there will suck those pages through in a hurry. In my home office I still have the "one-page-at-a-time" copier which works but slowly!
