Making an Offer
Making an Offer
Once you have found the property you want, we will write a purchase agreement. While much of the offer is standard, there are a few areas we can negotiate:
Price
What you offer on a property depends on a number of factors, including its condition, length of time on the market, buyer activity, and the urgency of the seller.
Due Diligence
Conducting your inspections expeditiously shows seriousness and increases your odds of acceptance.
Move-In Date
If you can be flexible on the possession date, the seller will be more apt to accept your offer over others.
Offer Details: Inclusions & Exclusions
Often the seller plans on leaving major appliances in the home; however, which items stay or go is often a matter of negotiation.
Typically, you will not be present at the offer presentation. We will present it to the listing agent or seller. The seller will then do one of the following:
By far the most common of these is the counteroffer. If a counteroffer is presented, you and I will work together to review each specific area of it — making sure that we move forward with your goals in mind and ensuring that we negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf.
