Writing the Offer

Working with you and with your goals in mind, your agent will evaluate the home, current and past comparable sales, as well as your financial requirements to determine 1) what price to offer, and 2) the financing details of your offer, and 3) any property condition or possession contingencies.

There may be more than one offer on a home at a time. This is just one reason why being pre-approved is so important.

The Seller Can:

• Accept your offer exactly as presented and you have bought a home!
• Make a counter offer- any changes to price, personal property, close of escrow, possession dates
• Reject the offer
  NOTE: This would normally only happen if the offer did not meet any of the Seller’s needs. A counter offer is more common.

Once the Offer is accepted by all parties, copies are given to all and the Escrow period, from Contract to Close of Escrow begins.
