Buyer Success Guide by Cynthia Rich

process THE OFFER MAKING

Determine Your Offer Price Your real estate agent will help you analyze comparable sales and market conditions to determine a competitive and reasonable offer price.

Review Comparable Sales Examine recently sold properties in the same neighborhood with similar features to understand the market value of the home you're interested in.

Consider Market Conditions Understand whether you're in a buyer's market or a seller's market. In a seller's market, where demand exceeds supply, you may need to be more competitive with your offer.

Include Contingencies Contingencies are conditions that must be met for the sale to proceed. Common contingencies include a home inspection, financing approval, and appraisal.

Prepare the Offer Letter Your real estate agent will draft the offer letter, including details such as the offer price, requested contingencies, and any specific terms or conditions.

Submit the Offer Once you and your agent have reviewed and finalized the offer, it is submitted to the seller's agent. The seller will then have the option to accept, reject, or counter the offer.

Negotiate Terms Negotiations may occur between you and the seller, involving adjustments to the offer price, closing date, or other terms. Your real estate agent will play a crucial role in this process.
