Step 5:
Making An Offer
Once we’ve found the “right” home, it’s time to take the next step!
Making An Offer
We will explain all aspects of the contract, answering any questions you may have to ensure your complete understanding.
We will write and present the signed contract to the Seller’s agent (we will give you a copy too) and negotiate on your behalf.
An integral part of the contract is the “earnest money” offer. You will need to write a “good faith” earnest money check to accompany the contract. Upon acceptance of the contract, the earnest money check will be deposited (within 10 days) and will be credited to you on your closing statement.
The response timetable for the parties to respond to offers and counteroffers varies depending on circumstances. Our goal is to keep this part of the negotiations as short as possible.
Normally, the Seller does not accept the initial offer and may make changes, resulting in a counteroffer. This is normal.
All points of a contract are negotiable.
