SELLER TIPS: Points to Ponder on Your Offer to Purchase for Your Charlotte Home for Sale
You’re represented by a Realtor® (hopefully), who can skillfully walk you through your purchase Offer but, when dealing with a purchase Contract for your Charlotte home for sale, you need to look carefully within the document for a few things before you sign on the dotted line. Your Realtor® and/or attorney will be able to point out glaring deficiencies, inconsistencies or other things not in your best interest. However, the more you know about the purchase Contract yourself, the better chances you have of getting a good deal on your Charlotte home for sale.
Here are a few points to ponder that are contained within your Offer to Purchase:
Closing Date
Sometimes a buyer may want to wait a month or two before actually taking over the Title of your home. You want to check the Closing date against your own schedule and make sure it’s an acceptable date. Don’t be inflexible--remember that in this highly competitive real estate market, you need to be willing to negotiate on the closing date – unless, of course, you don’t have a choice.
Property that is to Remain with the home
Contracts range in terms of what fixtures are included in the Offer and what personal property the buyer wishes to remain with the home. In a few cases, the contract entitles the buyer to everything on the property. In other cases, the Contract entitles them to nothing more than the attached (ceiling) light fixtures and electrical socket covers. Carefully read over what the buyer expects to remain with the home and make certain that you agree.
