This depends on the state that you are licensed. In Iowa, we have pre-prepared homes where we fill in the specific information regarding the home in question. Other states have attorneys work out the contract once there is verbal agreement between the buyers and sellers.

As others have already answered the agent fills in the blanks of a preprinted contract form. And in some places, not only attorneys, but also agents can prepare the contract.
