Furniture sale agreement

• You are selling furniture, an appliance, a bike, a laptop or anything else you own to a neighbor, a friend of a friend, or someone from a local listing.
• The buyer pays now but picks the item up later — after they rent a van, or after you move out.
• The item has a flaw you have already pointed out (a scratched top, a wobbly leg, a battery that holds half a charge) and you want that on record, not just in a chat.
• You are selling several pieces together, like a sofa and two matching armchairs, and want the set described as one sale.

Priya is moving across the country and sells her sectional sofa to Marcus, who answered her neighborhood listing. He pays $650 by Venmo on Saturday, but can only borrow a pickup truck the following Thursday, so the sofa stays in her living room until then.

The app asks for 8 details in 2 short steps: “Who's involved?”, “Item & payment”. The ones worth a moment’s thought:

What is being sold?

This is the field that does most of the work. Name the item the way you would in a listing — brand, model, size, color — then add what comes with it (cushions, shelves, the remote, the charger) and any flaw you already mentioned. It is a multi-line box, so there is room for a set of pieces.

Common mistake: Writing “couch” and nothing else. If the buyer later says the ottoman was part of the deal, the record has no answer.

Condition

One of five fixed choices, from “New” to “For parts / not working”. A fixed word is harder to argue about than a description, and it sets expectations before the buyer arrives.

Common mistake: Picking “Like new” for something with visible wear because it sounds better. The buyer inspects it at pickup — an honest “Good” prevents the haggling on your doorstep.

Agreed Sale Price

The total for everything described above. If you are selling a set and the buyer is taking only part of it, describe only that part and price it on its own.

Pickup / Handover Date

The day the buyer collects the item. Until then it sits in your home, so this date also tells both of you how long you are holding it. The app will not accept a pickup date earlier than the date of sale.

Common mistake: Leaving pickup open-ended. If the buyer never shows up, an agreed date gives you something to point to before you need the space back.

Before you can save, the app checks: Handover date must be on or after the sale date.

• The item is a vehicle — a car, motorcycle, boat or trailer. Those change owners through a state title or registration, and this general record does not replace that paperwork.
• The item is still being paid off, leased, or was bought on a rent-to-own plan. Until it is paid off it may not be fully yours to sell; settle that with the lender or store first.
• You sell items regularly as a business. Sales tax, consumer-protection rules and refund policies that apply to sellers in the business of selling are outside what this record covers.
• The item has been recalled. Check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall list before you sell anything with a motor, a battery or a child in mind — a crib, a car seat, a space heater — because some recalled products should not be resold at all.

1. You fill in the template in the Agreely app and sign it first.
2. You send the other person one link — by text, WhatsApp, email, anything.
3. They read the same document in their browser, type or draw their signature, and both of you get the identical signed PDF.

Signatures are captured under the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA, with a certificate page recording who signed, when, and from which device.

• Car sale agreement between friends

  Selling a vehicle instead? That record asks for the odometer reading and points you to the title transfer.

• Debt record between friends (IOU)

  If the buyer will pay you the rest later, record what they still owe and when.
