SELL PROPERTY
STEP 5 - RECEIVE AN OFFER
 

 

When a buyer decides to buy your property, an offer will be presented. I will advise you as to whether or not the prospective buyer is qualified to purchase your property. After all, there is no reason to review an offer if the person(s) making it will not be able to actually buy your property.

You and I will then review the written document, taking care to note what is required of both parties to execute the transaction. The contract should protect the best interests of all parties involved and should be comprehensive in nature.

Once you accept the contract, it may be too late to make any changes. The contract, though not limited to this list,

 

should include the following:

· A legal description of the property
· The offering price
· The down payment
· Financing arrangements
· A list of fees and who will pay them
· Amount of the deposit
· Inspection rights and possible repair allowances
· The method of conveying the title and who will handle the closing
· A list of appliances and furnishings that will stay with the property
· The settlement date
· Any relevant contingencies

Remember that the legalities of this phase are very important. If you have any questions or concerns, be certain to address them with me right away.
