1. Making
an Offer
Your
real estate agent will create an Offer
to Purchase once you've agreed to buy the property. An offer to
purchase is the legal document that governs the sale of a property between the
buyer and seller. Because it is a legally binding contract, it is critical that
you take your time and complete it correctly.
The
buyer submits a written offer, which, if accepted, results in a binding
contract between the buyer and the seller. Make sure your customers know the
market and the most important factors to consider when creating a promise to
ensure you reach an acceptable agreement that benefits everyone: These factors
include:
· Pricing
in the market

date

time frame

2. Buyers
Competition
For
the buyer, competing offers can be an exciting, stressful, and anxious moment.
If your purchasers learn of a competing bid, urge them to consider the
property's value to them. They might wish to adjust their offer to make it
their best and highest. They must remember that pricing is simply one
consideration in the seller's selection. Other policies, such as deadlines and
agreements, have the potential to significantly impact competition.
The
seller can only negotiate one offer at a time until a final contract is
established, regardless of the strengths and weaknesses of competing offers. In
a strong sellers' market, it is possible that more than one offer will be
received at the same time.
3. Counter-Offers
Negotiation
If
the seller does not accept the first offer because the buyer's price is too
low, or the buyer's requirements for repairs and inspections are excessive,
then he or she may counteroffer.
Make
sure the buyer is aware that a counteroffer is possible. If a counteroffer is
made, the buyer has the option to:
· Take
the counteroffer.
· Respond
to the counteroffer
· Reject
the counteroffer and choose a different seller.
If
the buyer rejects the seller's counteroffer, they can make a new offer (a
second counteroffer) that the seller can accept or reject.
