Considering Offers

When reading an offer, keep in mind that you are out to get the best price AND the best terms for you. If you focus solely on the price, you may overlook terms that could only be favorable to the buyer.

Some terms that may work in your favor:

*higher-than-market-interest in a second mortgage for your home
*the buyer will pay for most or all of the closing costs
*the buyer will take care of any repairs
*quick close - the buyer is pre-approved and ready to close in a time that best suits you
*all-cash deal

When reading through offers, remember to look at the whole package. Take the time that you need to assess what is being offered and if it meets your needs. Make sure you ask your realtor if you are unsure of any terms or conditions written in the contract. Our policy is to explain each term of the contract to you but should you be unclear about anything on there we would be more than happy to explain it in further detail.
