Handling All the Details
After you list your property it’s exciting when you receive your first offer. This means that someone is interested in your property and has prepared a formal offer to buy it.
So, what is an offer?
An offer is a legal document that shows the price the buyer is proposing to pay, which may or may not be the same as your listing price. An offer will include other details, such as the requested closing date, and may also include one or more conditions, such as “conditional on the property passing a home inspection.”
When you are preparing to receive offers, you will be able to expect to sell your house to a buyer for the highest price possible. In addition, you’ll want to make sure there are no potential problems that might prevent the deal from closing – such as the buyer being unable to arrange financing.
This can initially sound a bit complex. It’s my job as your real estate agent to take care of all the details. For example, I will:
- Review the offer with you and explain everything clearly.
- Give you my professional assessment as to the quality of the offer. When something pops up that I believe you should take note of, I will be sure to point it out to you.
- I will recommend whether I think you should accept the offer, reject the offer, or make a counteroffer.
- If necessary, I will prepare a counteroffer, that will get you a better deal, while keeping the integrity of the deal intact.
- I will negotiate with the buyer and their agent on your behalf, to secure the sale at the highest price possible.
- I’ll prepare all the necessary documents and work closely with the buyer and his or her agent, to make sure the transaction goes through smoothly.
- I’ll communicate with you throughout the entire process. I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way.
I’m looking forward to showing you how my expertise will help you sell your house for the best possible price.
