Getting an offer on your home is easy in this market. What’s not easy is making it all the way to the closing table without a Realtor’s assistance.
Right now, it’s a feeding frenzy in the real estate market. We are seeing near-2007 levels of sales prices and pace. You might think selling today would be easy. You’d be partly right. It is easy to get an offer, but it’s much harder to get to the closing date with the offer still intact. I want to share a few important thoughts with you today about how you can make it through your transaction with a little helping hand.
When a buyer makes an offer on your home, there are generally 10 to 20 different people involved in the transaction. You might have a few different buyers, with each of them having a loan officer, an underwriter, an appraiser, a home inspector, and more. There are a lot of expectations to manage and being able to negotiate all the way through to closing is the hard part of the transaction.
Our job is to give you the best advice possible.
Our job as Realtors is to give you the best advice possible. When we review offers with you, we will find out about the buyer’s credit, income, and probability of securing their loan on closing day. We also want to make sure you are protected throughout the inspection process by recommending which repairs to make and referring you to someone who can help you out for a fair price.
If you market your home right, stage it, and price it correctly, you’ll get an offer. However, it will be hard for you to get to the closing table without the help of an experienced professional.
