Considering Offers - Please consider other aspects too

Real Estate Agent with United Realty Group 3100213

When reading an offer, keep in mind that you are out to get the best price AND the best terms for you. If you focus solely on the price, you may overlook terms that could be favorable to you as a buyer.

Some terms that may work in your favor:

  • higher-than-market-interest in a second mortgage for your home
  • the buyer will pay for most or all of the closing costs
  • the buyer will take care of any repairs
  • quick close - the buyer is pre-approved and ready to close in a timeframe that best suits you
  • all-cash deal

When reading through offers, remember to look at the whole package. Take the time that you need to assess what is being offered and if it meets your needs.

Yes indeedy. I'm sure more than one person found that they got other things in the offer that were very beneficial to them. Like my most recent buyers - they were flexibile on move-in date, so the seller could wait out a purchase of her own on a short sale.

Yes Karen, I just sold a listing of mine for full price offer, closed on it last week, and the new owner is collecting 1/3 of the regular rent, so the sellers could stay in the house until their new home is finished , which should be around middle of June
