Unless you know exactly what you want, it will likely take viewing at least a few homes before making an offer. The best homes sell within days and sometimes hours of being listed. A skilled real estate agent monitors the MLS so his/her client doesn’t miss the perfect home. When the market doesn’t offer the perfect home, the best Realtors are those that proactively work to find off market homes and pocket listings. Just starting your search? Exhausted by searching? We’d like to help!
A good offer versus an acceptable offer are often different things. Making offers is situational and making a good offer is conditional upon so many factors including: The supply of similarly priced homes, the supply of other buyers, number of days on the market, comparable sales, comparable pending sales, macroeconomic influences like bond yields. A good offer will also protect you from losing your escrow deposit and having sufficient time to conduct any and all home inspections.
Every step of the way, we'll be there to guide you through your real estate transaction. Once we have a fully-executed contract, we will provide you with a contract timeline outlining all significant dates and deadlines that must be met according to the sales contract. At this point, we will provide a list of reputable home inspectors. If issues arise during the inspection, we can either ask for repairs, renegotiate on various terms or cancel the contract in its entirety. Our goal is to get you in the right house that doesn't cause you problems down the road. If you're satisfied with the inspection, we will move forward and do everything in our power to expedite the loan approval process.
A number of things may need to occur prior to closing that are common though not necessary to every real estate transaction. For instance: Repairs, re-inspections, surveys, lien releases and probate are all things that you might encounter when buying a home. In any case, we will make sure all conditions of your lender are satisfied with plenty of time to spare before your closing date.
