Some Preliminary Information

Be it the real estate market in 2009 or any other real estate market for that matter, the structure of a real estate purchase contract offer can be the difference in it being accepted or rejected. No, the offering price is not the only factor in negotiating a contract to purchase a home.

Regardless of the number of pages in the sales contract, a contract offer can be broken down into 3 separate parts which can be important to the seller: price, terms and conditions. Each has to be satisfactory in order to obtain seller acceptance. In some situations, full price offers are not acceptable due to the buyer's terms and conditions in the contract offer. In other instances, contracts get accepted and signed even though the offer was much lower in price than other competing offers, but was more favorable for the seller in terms and conditions.

What then is the secret in preparing and submitting a contract offer to buy real estate? This is where the value of an experienced Buyer's Agent is with providing assistance in preparing the contract offer and structuring the contract offer to purchase in a manner that does not create questions or concerns for the seller and their listing agent when it is presented to them.

There is more to purchasing a home than just looking at houses, whether the home is in Iselin or Colonia, New Jersey, in Middlesex County or any other state for that matter.
