Making an offer
The purchase agreement is pretty standard, but there are a few areas that are open to negotiation…
The price
What you offer depends on the condition, time on market, buyer activity,the urgency of the seller, etc.
While some buyers want to make a low offer to see if it’s accepted, that is usually not wise. The seller could be insulted and decide not to negotiate at all.
Once the offer is submitted, the seller will do one of the following:
– Accept
– Reject
– Counter
In the case of a counter offer (most common). My experience and negotiating skills become powerful in representing your best interests.
When the counter is presented, we will work together to specifically review it and make sure we move forward according to your goals to reach the best terms possible.
What to bring to the closing table:
– A certified check for closing costs & down payment made out to the title company, and they will give you the amount prior to closing.
– Photo ID’s
At the time of closing, the transfer of title moves ownership from the seller to you. This is done when your lender has wired the funds, and the deed (the document that transfers ownership) is delivered.
