We’ve listed your home and you’re getting offers left and right! Yeehaw! This is a big moment for you and your biggest asset, so we want to make sure you’re getting the most bang for your buck.
First things first, let’s talk about how the buyer plans on financing the purchase. You want to make sure they’re pre-approved and have the proof of funds to back it up. Now, I know cash may seem like the way to go, but sometimes a mortgage can actually give you more negotiating power. Just weigh the pros and cons, folks.
Next, take a look at the earnest money deposit the buyer is putting down. The higher the deposit, the more serious the buyer is about the purchase. Just something to pay attention to!
Now, let’s talk about contingencies. The more contingencies a buyer puts on the table, the more chances they have to back out of the deal. So, if you can, go for an offer with fewer contingencies.
And finally, make sure the closing timeline works for you. You want to choose an offer that gives you enough time to pack up and move on to your next adventure.
So, there you have it folks! Just remember, my team and I are always here to answer any questions you may have about selling your home. We want to make sure you’re making informed decisions in today’s market. I’m your community market leader Sherri Echols, a helping hand for a happy home!
