Accepting an Offer

The Price Is Not Always Right

When it comes to offers, the highest bid doesn’t always mean it’s the best. Terms, contingencies, and buyer reliability can significantly impact the final outcome of an offer. Our experienced agents will guide you in evaluating each offer to ensure you’re choosing the best one from the right buyer, not just the highest dollar amount.

Negotiating To Win

We prioritize transparency and ethics in every negotiation, working tirelessly to keep both parties engaged while keeping your best interests at the forefront. Our goal is to help you make the right choice with confidence, negotiating on your behalf to secure an agreement that aligns with your financial and personal goals.

The Initial Agreement and Deposit

Once you and the buyer have reached an agreement, both parties will sign the initial contract, or Purchase Agreement. The buyer will then place a deposit in an escrow account. This account, held by a neutral third party like a title company or attorney, manages all funds related to the sale until the official closing date. Escrow ensures that your transaction proceeds smoothly, maintaining financial fairness for both parties involved.

Laws vary, but legally binding agreements often require considerations—deposits held in escrow while contingencies or conditions in the Purchase Agreement are fulfilled.

Key Tips for a Smooth Process

• Keep Written Records: Document everything, including verbal agreements, counter-offers, and any addendums. Both parties should sign these documents to maintain clarity and compliance. Our team will draft and provide copies for both parties.
• Stay on schedule: Each stage in the Purchase Agreement will have deadlines for contingencies. Meeting these timelines will help ensure a smooth process, reduce stress, and prevent potential contract breaches. We’ll keep you informed at every step to help you stay on track and well-prepared.

Our commitment is to simplify and streamline your selling experience, so you can move forward confidently and smoothly.
