The Price Isn’t Always the Deciding Factor

The highest offer doesn’t always translate into the best deal. Offers often come with terms and conditions that can significantly impact the final outcome. Our experienced professionals will guide you through each proposal to ensure you accept not just the highest offer, but the right one, from the most qualified buyer.

Negotiating With Your Best Interests in Mind

We take our ethical responsibility to negotiate fairly and seriously. Our priority is to protect your interests while keeping buyers engaged, ensuring you make confident, informed decisions throughout the process.

The Purchase Agreement and Deposit

Once you and the buyer reach an agreement, both parties will sign the Purchase Agreement. At that time, the buyer will place a deposit into an escrow account. The escrow, or closing agent, typically a title company or attorney, serves as a neutral third party responsible for holding, receiving, and distributing all funds until closing.

Laws vary across states, but in order for an agreement to be legally binding, the agreement may require considerations. Considerations are deposits from the buyer held in the escrow account pending the fulfillment of contingencies or conditions in the Purchase Agreement.

Some important tips to keep in mind to streamline the process even further:

  • Keep written records of everything. Counter-offers, verbal agreements, and addendums should all be recorded. Make sure both parties sign these written documents. We will help draft all written records and provide copies for both parties to keep.
  • Stay on schedule. You and the buyer will be given a timeline to complete all contingencies laid out in the Purchase Agreement. Meeting the requirements on time ensures a smooth, more productive negotiation period. Staying on schedule will not only make the process less stressful, but it will guarantee neither party is in breach of their contract agreements. We will keep you updated throughout the process and prepare you for each step.

Tips For Selling

Deep Clean icon

Give Your House a Deep Clean

First impressions are everything. Before listing your property, ensure it shines from top to bottom. This includes scrubbing bathrooms, cleaning toilets, wiping down surfaces, mopping floors, and refreshing rugs. For best results, consider hiring professional cleaners to make your home truly move-in ready.

Declutter icon

Declutter The Home

A clutter-free home allows buyers to focus on the property itself, rather than being distracted by personal items or mess. Clear away piles of mail, laundry, and other unnecessary items so potential buyers can easily imagine their own belongings in the space. Organized, open rooms create a stronger emotional connection and enhance the home’s appeal.

Handyman icon

Call a Handyman

Before putting your home on the market, address any needed fixes — from leaky faucets to squeaky doors. Calling in a handyman to take care of small repairs demonstrates that the home has been well maintained, giving buyers added confidence in its condition.

Paint the Walls

Not only is painting a great way to clean up the walls but making the overall color scheme neutral will increase the appeal to potential buyers, making it easier for them to envision their belongings in the house - get rid of any bright, outdated paint colors and go with a neutral palette throughout the house.

Curb Appeal icon

Increase Your Curb Appeal

The outside aesthetic of your home is just important as the inside. Give buyers a good feeling before they even open the front door. Landscaping, mulching, flowers, pressure washing the driveway and exterior of the home are all simple ways to increase the value of your home.

Stage Your Home icon

Stage Your Home

Staged homes tend to fill quickly because they feel homier - if you have neutral furniture that you can leave in the home, do it, otherwise consider a professional staging company.

Depersonalize icon

Depersonalize Your Home

You want to leave a few nice, framed photos around the house to make the home appear inviting and lived in, but in general, removing your very personal items, such as family photos will let the potential buyers see their photos in those places, versus yours.
