Great Ways To Kill A Real Estate Deal
Getting ready to sell your home in Alexandria, La? Let's take a moment to consider an important space when selling, the space between your ears!
1) Nobody Paid My Closing Costs, So I'm Not Paying Their Closing Costs-- Housing markets, like a great river, are in a constant state of flux. Today most buyers need closing costs assistance. Still want to stick to your principles? Let's target investors. They generally pay their closing costs. Of course they also offer 50 cents on the dollar...
2) I'm Not Fixing Nothing From The Inspection, The Home is AS/IS-- Home inspections are designed to protect both buyer and seller. Isn't it better to discover a defect now rather than after closing. Ever been to court? And once discovered, defects must be either fixed or disclosed in Louisiana. Fix the roof for this buyer, or the next one.
3) Give Me the Refrigerator And Portable Generator Or We Walk-- When buying a home, focus on the home. Movable objects stay with the owner. Would you consider asking the owner for his/ her shoes?
4) I'm Not Giving That Buyer An Extension, Either Close Tomorrow Or No Deal-- News flash, odds are the buyers wants to close just as much as you do. Last minute closes usually mean loan or title hiccups. The good news, most go away quickly. But if you let this buyer go, the process starts over. Ever been fishing? Notice how there can be a large delay between the first fish caught and the second?
With all the regulations, real estate transactions tend to be complex beasts. Once the negotiations are past, all parties need to work together to make it to the closing table. Need to buy or sell in Alexandria La? Contact Bayou Properties Realty today!
