Preparing the Offer

When you find a home on the market that you really want, you can hardly wait to close the transaction and be handed the keys. In fact, you may even worry that the property will somehow slip through your fingers. When you have an expert team by your side you will definitely be more confident knowing they will work hard not to let that happen . Our job, as your real estate team, is not only to ensure the transaction closes and you get that home but to do it at a price that works for you.

The first step will be preparing the Offer. The Offer is the document we present to the seller which basically states the price you are offering, as well as any conditions.

The price we offer is critical. You want the price to reflect the true market value of that property so the seller will take your offer seriously. On the other hand, you don’t want to go in offering too high and risk overpaying for the home.

Don’t worry. We know how to prepare a winning-type offer and get you the property at the lowest possible price. As the team who represents you, we look after your best interests throughout the entire process.

How the Process Works

When you decide you want to make an offer on a home, here’s what typically happens:

• We’ll recommend a price that will have the best chance of being accepted by the seller, without over-paying.
• Obviously, sellers will prefer offers that have no conditions. However, we may suggest a condition, such as passing a home inspection, be included for your protection. We will talk about that.
• We’ll prepare all the necessary documents and present the offer to the seller and his or her real estate agent personally.
• If the offer isn’t accepted, or if the seller makes you a counter-offer, we’ll work with the seller’s agent, skillfully negotiating on your behalf to make a deal.
• We will communicate with you throughout the entire process so that you’re never in the dark when you work with us.
• Once the seller agrees to a deal, we will help lead you through removal of any conditions and closing the deal. Then, the home is Xolde. Congratulations!

We do realize that making an offer may seem like the nail-biting part of the process. But doesn’t have to be. That’s the biggest advantage of selecting a real estate team that, like us, puts our clients first. When you go after the property you really want, you will take comfort in knowing you have experts on your side… a team with the tools and the knowledge to get that home for you.
