Which of the following is not a requirement of a valid real estate sales contract?

  1. Consideration

  2. Offer and acceptance

  3. Acknowledgment

  4. Legal purpose

The correct answer is: Acknowledgment

A valid real estate sales contract requires both parties to give something of value (consideration), an offer to be made and accepted, and a legal purpose for the contract. An acknowledgment is not a requirement for a valid real estate sales contract. While all parties involved should acknowledge and understand the terms of the contract, it is not a legal requirement for the contract to be valid. Therefore, C is the correct answer as it is the only option that is not a requirement for a valid real estate sales contract.
