Preparing the Offer

When you view a home on the market that you really want, you can hardly wait to be handed the keys. In fact, you may worry that the property will somehow slip through your fingers. Don’t be. Our job is to ensure you get that home – and at a price that works for you.

The first step is preparing the Offer. This is the document we present to the seller that basically states the price you’re offering, as well as any conditions.

The price we go in with is critical. You want it to reflect the true market value of the property so the seller will take your offer seriously. On the other hand, you don’t want to go in too high and risk overpaying for the home.

Don’t worry. We know how to prepare a winning offer and get you the property at the lowest possible price. In fact, we look after your interests throughout the entire process.

How the Process Works

When you decide to make an offer on a home, here’s what typically happens:

• We’ll recommend a price that has the best chance of being accepted by the seller, without over-paying for the home.

• sellers would prefer offers that have no conditions. However, we may suggest several  conditions, such as financing, a professional home inspection or other conditions be included for your protection. We’ll talk about that.

• We’ll prepare the necessary documents and present your offer to the seller and his or her Realtor.

• if the seller makes a counter-offer, we’ll work with the seller’s agent, skillfully negotiating on your behalf to make a deal.

• We’ll communicate with you throughout the entire process. You’re never in the dark

• Once the seller agrees to a deal, we’ll help  you through the removal of the conditions and closing the deal. Then, the home is yours. Congratulations!

We realize that making an offer can seem like the nail-biting part of the process. It doesn’t have to be. That’s the advantage of selecting Realtors like us, who put clients first.
