Accepting an Offer
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 our professionals 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 INITIAL AGREEMENT AND DEPOSIT.
An effective agreement is a legal arrangement between a
potential purchaser and the property’s seller. Laws vary from state
to state, but in order to be a legally, binding agreement, the
agreement may require consideration. This consideration (initial and
additional deposit) is to be held in the closing agent’s escrow
account pending the fulfillment of conditions or contingencies in
the effective agreement.
Some important tips to keep in mind
to streamline the process even further:
KEEP WRITTEN
RECORDS OF EVERYTHING.
For the sake of clarity, it
will be extremely useful to transcribe all verbal agreements
including counter-offers and addendums, and convert them to written
agreements to be signed by both parties. We will assist you in
drafting all the paperwork for your sale and make sure that you have
copies of everything.
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.
