With over 28 years of Full-Time Experience and Negotiation skills including multiple offers, I have helped my clients to obtain their Dream Home!
When the time comes to make an offer, as your Realtor® I will provide you with current market information and assist you by drafting the entire legal offer. I will then communicate and negotiate the written offer to the seller or the seller's representative on your behalf. If on occasion there is more than one offer being presented on the property at the same time I will also guide you through this entire process. (See Multiple Offers Below)
Firm Offer to Purchase
This is an offer that is preferred by the seller because it indicates to the seller that you are prepared to purchase the home without any conditions. If the offer is accepted, the home is yours.
Conditional Offer to Purchase
This is when you have placed one or more conditions in the offer to purchase, such as "subject to a home inspection", "subject to financing" or "subject to sale of your own home". The home you are buying will not be sold until all the conditions have been met and waived. Other buyers may come along and still place an offer on the property.
Multiple Offers
If there is more than one offer, you are in a multiple offer situation. You may be the highest bidder and won’t even know it if you pull out. You should go through at least one round of negotiations before you decide to withdraw your offer unless you really want the house in which case you may want to stay in the bid. Too many buyers have lost the home they wanted by withdrawing their offer too soon. At this point it is critical to have an experienced and knowledgeable agent such as myself who knows how to negotiate.
Acceptance of the Offer
Your Offer to Purchase will be presented as soon as possible. The seller may accept the offer, reject it, or submit a counter-offer. The counter-offer may be in reference to the price, the closing date, or any number of variables. The offer can go back and forth until both parties have agreed or one party ends the negotiations.
