Yes, in Maryland, a contract is typically required to sell property. A contract is a legally binding agreement that outlines the terms and conditions of the sale, including the purchase price, the closing date, and any contingencies or conditions that must be met before the sale can be finalized.

The contract is usually prepared by a real estate agent or an attorney and must be signed by both the buyer and the seller. Once the contract is signed, it becomes a legally binding agreement, and both parties are required to comply with its terms.

In addition to the contract, there are several other documents and steps that are typically required to sell property in Maryland. These may include a property disclosure statement, a title search and title insurance, a deed, and various other legal documents.

It’s important to work with a qualified real estate professional or attorney who is familiar with Maryland’s real estate laws and regulations to ensure that all necessary documents and steps are completed correctly and on time. This can help ensure a smooth and successful sale of the property.
