Many states prohibit balloon payments in loans for goods or services that are primarily for personal, family or household use, or require the lender to let you refinance the balloon payment before forcing collection     bill of sale A written instrument given to pass title to personal property     blanket mortgage One mortgage on a number of parcels of real property     blockbusting The illegal practice of inducing panic selling in a neighborhood by making representations of the entry, or prospective entry, of members of a minority group     bond (1) A written agreement purchased from a bonding company that guarantees a person will properly carry out a specific act, such as managing funds, showing up in court, providing good title to a piece of real estate or completing a construction project. If the person who purchased the bond fails at his or her task, the bonding company will pay the aggrieved party an amount up to the value of the bond. (2) An interest-bearing document issued by a government or company as evidence of a debt. A bond provides pre-determined payments at a set date to the bond holder. Bonds may be "registered" bonds, which provide payment to the bond holder whose name is recorded with the issuer and appears on the bond certificate, or "bearer" bonds, which provide payments to whomever holds the bond in-hand. Mortgage interest rates are closely related to long term bond interest rates.     bonus to selling agent (BTSA) Compensation, above and beyond the sales commission, offered to the real estate agent who brings the buyer to the transaction. A BTSA is used to provide an extra incentive for real estate agents to show a particular listing. Often the bonus is tied to closing within a certain time period or the property selling for a certain price. A buyer's agent should not consider the BTSA a factor in any negotiations between buyer and seller. Realistically, most BTSA's tend to disappear during initial negotiations, eventhough they should never be considered as negotiable after they have been offered. Any bonus to selling agent should be contained in a written agreement between the seller and listing broker. The BTSA is technically offered by the listing broker, not the seller, and thus should not be a subject of negotiation     breach of contract Failure, without legal excuse, of one of the parties to a contract to perform according to the contract     brokerage For a commission or fee, bringing together parties interested in buying, selling, exchanging, or leasing real property     BTSA An acronym for: Bonus to selling agent     building line A line fixed at a certain distance from the front and/or sides of a lot beyond which no structure can project.
