Accepting an offer
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. I will help you thoroughly evaluate every proposal without compromising your marketing position.
Negotiating The Right Way
I take ethical responsibility and negotiating in good faith very seriously. It is my job to create a “meeting of the minds” that is beneficial to the parties involved. You may sometimes have to choose one out of multiple offers – and as your agents, I guarantee a thorough and objective assessment of each offer to help you make the right choice.
Contract and Deposit
Once you have accepted an offer, you should allow enough time for the buyer and their attorney to conduct due diligence on the property. Once all terms have been negotiated and made part of the legally binding agreement, the buyer wires or hands over a check for the deposit amount (sometimes referred to as “earnest money) agreed upon by the parties. This deposit is usually a percentage of the purchase price and is held in the your attorney’s escrow (neutral) account until closing.
