Showings and Open Houses
We work with you to arrange the most convenient times to show or feature your home. We use tools such as Showing Time that automatically notify you when someone is interested in seeing your home and provide valuable feedback.
Negotiating and Accepting an Offer
What an exciting time, an offer on your home. We will present you the offer (and in many cases offers) and present them and review all the terms with you! We will work with you and the buyers’ agent to ensure that price, terms, closing dates, pre-approval/financing, and contingencies. In some instances a counter-offer is made and we will continue until a suitable offer or buyer is found!
Home Inspection
Once you accept an offer, the next step is to schedule a home inspection. If any issues are found we will sort through the issues and work to a mutually agreeable solution.
Purchase & Sales Agreement
We are almost there! We will work with your attorney to write up a P&S that fully spells out all of the terms pertaining to the sale.
Financing
In most cases, the buyer will be applying for a mortgage. The bank will order an appraisal and provide you with a report. We will work with both sides to help the process along and can provide referrals for lenders, attorneys and provide a market analysis, if needed, to substantiate the price.
