NEGOTIATE TO SELL YOUR HOME
Most offers to purchase your home will require
some level of negotiation to come to a win-win
agreement. Your RE/MAX Village
Properties
realtor is well versed on the legalities of the
real estate contract used in your area and will
handle the responsibility of protecting your
best interest throughout these negotiations. In
addition, your agent has a thorough
understanding of the contract itself, including
what each contract clause means to you and your
buyer, what you will net from the sale of your
home, and what areas in the contract lend
themselves easiest to negotiation. Your agent
will review the written offer with you to make
sure that you thoroughly understand what the
buyers are offering and what they are asking in
return.
Some of the items that you may have to negotiate
are:
| |
· The price
· Financing
· Closing costs
· Repairs that need to be done
· Appliances and fixtures
· Landscaping
· Painting
· Occupancy time frame |
To really gain some insight into why potential
buyers are pursuing the purchase of your home
and how they might proceed in the negotiations,
it is also important to know as much about the
buyer as possible, especially their motivation
for buying. Once both parties have reached a
point where the deal is acceptable, your agent
will be certain that you have a legally
executable contract.
