I want an agent who represents me to be hard-nosed and determined; to have learned his or her business in the backrooms, to tell it like it is and to get what he or she goes for. I want the other guy to have the "nice" agent.
– Robert Irwin, Tips & Traps When negotiating Real Estate
Negotiations do not stop after the offer is accepted. Once the emotional decision is made and the terms are settled, the contract period begins.
How can we find solutions to issues that may arise during the contract process while protecting your interests? We have a plan to address buyer’s remorse, disclosures, surveys, appraisals, inspections, home insurance, financing and other risk factors.
What can be done to address excessive repair requests? What if the home does not appraise for the sale price? What if there are last minute issues with an easement or survey? What if the buyer cannot obtain homeowner’s insurance at a price that falls within their loan qualification ratios? What are the ramifications if the loan is delayed and the buyer cannot close on-time? Can an extension be negotiated? What recourse do you have?
Do you have options if unforeseen title, zoning, flood certificate, or neighborhood issues are discovered between contract and closing? What happens if the buyer asks for personal property that was not included in the contract? What if you cannot be entirely moved out by closing day or if all the repairs cannot be completed by closing?
We understand that negotiations do not stop until the keys are exchanged at closing. Can you trust such an important financial transaction to an average agent without a system?
