The Highest Offer May Not Be the Best Choice
Most people immediately jump for the highest offer they get on their home sale, but this may not always be the best choice. While the price of the sale is a huge factor when you decide on which offer to accept, it is not the only thing you should consider when selling your Brevard home. Many times, the initial or highest offer will be accompanied by any number of terms and conditions that may not be suitable to your goals and may affect the final net price of the sale and your bottom line. Sarah Rutherford will always be there to watch your back and alert you of any stipulations in the offer that may affect you.
Negotiating With Confidence and Knowledge
Sarah Rutherford is extremely serious when negotiating contractual terms and conditions of your Brevard home sale. I will make it my priority to create a win-win contract that is beneficial to both you and your buyer. We will take all the time needed to thoroughly assess every offer you receive and present you with the pros and cons of every deal so that you can have a full picture of each offer and come to an informed decision on which offer to accept. I want you to have all the information you need to make the right choice for you and your family.
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.
Here are a few more tips to help streamline your Brevard home sale:
Keep written records of everything. For the sake of clarity, it will be extremely useful to transcribe all verbal agreements including counter-offers and addendum’s, 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 planned 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.
