Making an offer

Buyers Offers and Counter Offers
You have found a perfect home that fits all your criteria and your price range. Now you’re ready to make an offer! You and I will discuss what is the best offer to make. I will help you decide, as well as write up an offer and present it to the seller’s agent with your terms and conditions. 

 Some things that will be negotiated, include:
  • Final sale price. 
  • The inspections to be done.
  • Who will pay what closing costs.
  • When the closing date will be and when the transfer of ownership will occur.
  • Special considerations of things to be included or excluded from the sale.

Negotiations: 
Now that you have submitted your offer we will begin the negotiation stage with the sellers. I will advise you if your offer has been accepted as is, or if the seller has rejected your offer and is making a counter offer. Once your negotiation is complete and your final offer is accepted, you will enter into the next phase, which is the escrow process.
 
Earnest Money Deposit (EMD): 
Once your offer is accepted you will now want to make an earnest money deposit into escrow. Earnest money is a good faith deposit, but not to be confused with a down payment. When a buyer executes a purchase contract, the contract specifies how much money the buyer is initially putting up to secure the contract, to show “good faith,” and how much money all together will be deposited as a down payment. The balance is financed as a mortgage.

Just relax and let me guide you through the process, as your Realtor I am committed to making this process financially successful and stress-free!

What Clients Are Saying:

"This is my second transaction with Eric. The first time Eric assisted us was back in 2016 when my husband and I were first time home buyers. During that time we had a little knowledge on the home buying process. We were young and eager to get into our first home! Looking back I can’t tell you how thankful we are to have had Eric on our team guiding us through the process. He truly had our best interest and future in consideration throughout the whole process. Fast forward now to 2019 we called Eric to sell our home. I must say after the first time working with Eric I didn’t think it could get much better or go any smoother than the first time. I was completely WRONG! Eric continued to exceed all the expectations we had set and crushed every goal we discussed. Eric listed our home and within 48 hours we received an offer. The offer lead to our home selling for $20,000 over the asking price! This is all credited back to Eric and his outstanding team that helped us throughout the process from our first meeting, to preparing our home, and finally the quick 30 day escrow. We are currently working with Eric on the purchase of our new home that will be completed in December. We have recommended our family and friends to use Eric’s services. They have all been very pleased with how quick and professional the process went. We are grateful for all Eric has done and will continue to do for our family for years to come!"
