When an Offer is made.
- PRESENTING THE OFFER.
Be assured that as soon as I am aware that a written offer to purchase has been signed, I will contact you immediately. The timing you may be inopportune but it’s usually best to move ahead rapidly to consider the contract.
2. THREE OPTIONS TO CONSIDER
When we consider the terms of the contract, remember that you are in charge. You are free to deal with the contract as you choose, and I will be there to assist you. Generally, there are three options available to you:
A. Accept the offer as presented. I will convey your acceptance and the home is SOLD!
B. Make a counter proposal- Propose changes to the offer, i.e. price, personal property, closing or possession dates, etc. So that it is acceptable to you. Be aware, however, that when you change anything, the buyer is completely freed from the earlier commitment to buy. I will convey the terms of your proposal and the prospective purchaser may accept, reject, or offer a new proposal.
C. Reject the offer.
3. DELIVERY OF THE CONTRACT
A copy of the finalized contract will be delivered to both buyers and seller byt heir respective real estate agents.
4. FINALIZING ALL CONDITIONS
A. Buyers Financing: If the contract states that the buyer has a specific number of days to secure financing for the home, it is his responsibility to apply for and to secure a loan commitment within that time period. The lending institution must…
1) Verify that the buyer has the ability to meet the monthly loan payment. They will examine the buyer’s credit history, employment records, ect.
2) Verify that the value of your home is enough to ensure the safety of their loan. An appraiser, assigned by the lender, will visit your home to affirm that its value, based upon a study of comparable homes, adequately secures the loan that they are making to your buyer. The mortgage loan underwire will approve the loan based upon a satisfactory review of the above information.
B. After the loan is approved, more legal work is necessary, though you will have very little involvement. The property title will be searched, title insurance will be ordered and an updated survey of the property may need to be ordered. If the property is a condominium, the Association may be contacted.
C. When the paperwork is in order, the time and place of settlement will be agreed to by all parties involved. We will cooperate totally to insure a smooth and timely closing.
D. Prior to the time of closing, the buyer may request a physical inspection of the home. The buyers may or may not be accompanied by a property inspector whom they have engaged at their expense.
E. Keys will be delivered to the buyer at closing.
F. At closing, all documents finalizing the sale will be signed by all partied and all funds will be disbursed.

Getting Your House Ready: Outside
The House
Take a close look as you walk the property. Clean anything that looks unkempt or dirty. Repair or replace anything that looks loose, dingy, rusted or broken. Make sure the door bell works. Replace a tied looking mail box, clean the exterior light fixtures and wash the windows. Try to spot hanging or rusty gutters, crooked antenna, loose shingles or shutters.
The Yard
Turn and weed beds, trim the trees and shrubs. Lay in ground cover. Mend the fence, fix the gate latch. Pick up litter. Consider a landscaping/ lawn service.
Outdoor Furniture
Examine and spot paint your outdoor furniture. If it’s rusty or un repairable, consider disposing it.
Front Entry
It is the first thing your buyers see as they stand and wait for the door to open. It’s worth the extra effort to spruce it up.
The Garage
The time has come. Discard virtually everything in the garage that hasn’t been used for a year. Wash it down.

Getting Your Home Ready: Inside
Clean! Clean! Clean!
Have the carpet shampooed, wax the floors, wash the walls, windows, blinds, drapes and lighting fixtures. Consider engaging a cleaning service, recognizing that it is a justified moving expense.
Kitchen and Bathroom
Clear off counter tops. Maximize the available counter space. These rooms should be gleaming. If unsightly, have the tub re-caulked and remove mineral deposits and grime from the shower walls. Clean the stove, microwave and refrigerator.
Primary Storage Area
Like the garage, its time has come to be liberated. Remember, you can do it now and benefit with a more attractive home on the market, or you can do it several months from now, in the process of moving when there is no advantage. Do it now.
Repairs
Identify and repair dripping faucets, sticking, creaking doors, etc. When people see areas of disrepair they begin to wonder whether there may be other unseen problems.
Closets
Remove out of season clothing. Organize your clothing and shoes. Remove all clutter from cabinets and closets.
Furniture
The less furniture, the larger a room appears to be.
A Light Appearance
As a rule, do everything to lighten the appearance of the home. Raise the blinds, open the drapes and use light colors. Repaint any room beginning to look shabby.
