Price Isn’t Everything:
Price is not always the deciding factor
and the first offer may not be final:
Our role is to help you sift through
all the terms and conditions of the
offer(s) you receive to help you create
a transaction that best suits your
needs. When appropriate, we will help
you draft up a counter offer in response
to an offer that comes up short of
your needs. Contrary to popular belief,
when presented with multiple offers,
the highest price offer may not be
the best offer to accept, after all
things are considered.
Dealing Objectively and Fairly:
Selling your home requires remaining
objective and always negotiating in
good faith. We will help you negotiate
contractual terms that are beneficial
to you and fair to the other party.
An experienced agent knows how to
handle situations including multiple
offers and multiple counter offers
prior to your going into contract
with one buyer, or “ratifying”
their offer.
The Deposit: Once
there is a ratified offer, the buyer
will deposit an agreed upon good faith
deposit into an escrow account, reflecting
their earnest intention to purchase
your property.
Keep it in Writing (counter
offers and addendums): Converting
all verbal agreements to a commitment
in writing signed by both parties
clarifies everyone’s intentions
and prevents things from being ambiguous,
forgotten or contradicted later. We
will help you draft addendums to your
contract that will help further your
objectives.
Staying on Track:
Real estate contracts provide a series
of deadlines for both buyer and seller.
Keeping this series of events on schedule
ensures a timely and successful close
of the transaction, or close of escrow.
Upon acceptance of an offer, we will
give you a copy of the timeline we
will be using to track the transaction,
so you will always know what’s
next.
