Congratulations! We found the right home…now what? Once you have found THE home …now I go to work helping you make a competitive offer based on market research.  Terms that we will need to decide include: sales price of home, close date, seller contribution to closing costs and any other contingencies to the contract.  I will advise you every step of the way.

• Review the Contract: The best way to prepare for the contract phase of the transaction as a buyer is to review a blank copy of the purchase contract. Reading the contract prior to making an offer will make you much more comfortable during the negotiation phase.
• Offer: While much attention is paid to the asking price of a home, a proposal to buy includes both the price and terms, as listed above.  I will help guide you in the negotiation process as we work to come to an agreement for you and the seller.
• Seller contributions: Buyer may ask Seller to pay some of the closing costs.
• Strategies to make your offer competitive: Price, terms and conditions.
• I will explain the contract, attached forms and offer process to you.
• Be prepared:
  • Have your mortgage pre-approval ready.
  • Have your funds available – Earnest money deposit with contract.
  • Ask questions about the contract and the process.
