When listing your house, there are not many things more exciting than receiving an offer. It means someone is interested in your property and has taken the step of preparing a formal offer to buy it.

But what is an offer, exactly?

An offer is simply a legal document that shows the price the buyer is proposing to pay you, which may or may not be the same as the price you listed your home for. An offer will include all other details, such as the closing date the buyers requested, and it may also include one or more conditions, for example ~ “conditional on the property passing a home inspection.”

Ideally, when you receive an offer on your home, you will want to sell your house to the buyer for the highest price possible and net more money. In addition, you will also want to make sure there are no potential problems that may prevent the deal from closing – such as the buyer being unable obtain the home loan.

We do realize this may sound complicated. Don’t worry, that’s not a problem. As your real estate team, our job is to take care of all the details. For example, here are some things we do:

• Review the offer with you and explain all the details clearly.
• Give you our professional assessment to the quality of the offer you received.
• If we identify things that concern us, we’ll certainly point them out to you right away.
• Guide you on whether to accept the offer, reject it, or make a counter-offer.
• Prepare the counter-offer, if necessary, which gets you a better deal, without having to risk the sale slipping through your fingers.
• Skillfully negotiate with the buyers on your behalf, so you can sell your house for the highest price possible.
• Prepare all the necessary documents, as well as work closely with the buyers and their respective agent, to make sure the transaction goes through as smoothly as possible.
• Communicate with you every step of the process. You won’t be left in the dark when you work with us.
• Selling your house for the best price possible is our primary goal, especially in this local market.
