Questions agents ask
Short answers for Minnesota files. Your contract is the final word.
When does the clock start on a Minnesota purchase contract?
In the Minnesota REALTORS Purchase Agreement, day zero is the final Acceptance Date. Counting starts the next day.
Do Minnesota contract deadlines move if they land on a weekend or holiday?
We couldn’t confirm a general weekend rule in the form, so the calculator flags weekend deadlines instead of moving them.
What time do Minnesota contract deadlines end?
Under the Minnesota REALTORS Purchase Agreement, deadlines end at 11:59 p.m. unless the contract says otherwise.
Why are some deadlines marked sample?
The standard form leaves these for the parties to fill in: inspection contingency, financing contingency. So you can see a full timeline, the calculator starts with typical values and tags each one sample. Type in the numbers from your contract, or press Clear sample values, and the calculator rebuilds the rest.
Can I download the deadlines as a spreadsheet?
Yes. Download sheet gives you an Excel file that also opens in Google Sheets. The Minnesota counting rules are built in as formulas, so changing the effective date or any day count recalculates every deadline. Add to calendar gives you the same dates as calendar events.
Is this calculator legal advice?
No. It estimates dates from the numbers you enter and the counting rules described on this page. Your executed contract, its addenda and Minnesota law control every deadline. Confirm each date with your agent, broker or real estate attorney.
