The Price Is Not Always Right.

“The higher the price, the better the offer.” Do not let yourself be fooled by this popular misconception. Price is not always the determining factor when accepting an offer for several important reasons: the initial offer is usually not final, and there are a number of terms and conditions that may influence the final outcome of a price. You can trust us to help you thoroughly evaluate every proposal without compromising your marketing position.

Negotiating The Right Way.

We take the ethical responsibility of fairly negotiating contractual terms very seriously. It is our job to find a win-win agreement that is beneficial to all parties involved. You may even have to deal with multiple offers before ratifying the one you judge to be the most suitable for you – and as your agents, we will guarantee a thorough and objective assessment of each offer to help you make the right choice.

The Contract and Earnest Money.

A contract is a legal arrangement between a Buyer and a Seller. Laws vary from state to state, but in order to be a legally binding agreement, the agreement may require consideration. This consideration is sometimes the Buyer’s Earnest Money which is to be held in the Title Company’s escrow account pending the fulfillment of conditions or contingencies in the contract.

Some important tips to keep in mind to streamline the process even further:

  • Keep written records of everything.
    Your Agent will assist you in drafting all the paperwork for the sale of your home and make sure that you have copies of everything. More than likely you will have electronic copies of everything and all paperwork will be signed electronically.
  • Stick to the schedule.
    Now that you have chosen your offer, you and the buyer will be given a timeline to mark every stage in the process of closing the real estate contract. Meeting the requirements on time ensures a smoother flow of negotiations and also ensures that each party involved is not in breach of their agreements. During the process we will keep you constantly updated so you will always be prepared for the next step.
