Negotiation: Besides negotiating the price, terms, and conditions of the sale, I often strategize and negotiate several other aspects when writing offers for you. These can be crucial in making an offer more appealing to the seller or in ensuring that your interests are well-protected. Here's a rundown of these additional aspects: Closing Date: I may negotiate the closing date to align with your schedule or financial planning, including coordinating with your lease end, sale of your current home, or availability of funds. Contingencies: I negotiate crucial contingency clauses, including home inspection, financing, sale of current home, appraisal, and others. Repairs and Credits: Based on the home inspection, I may negotiate for repairs or credits to be made by the seller. Inclusions and Exclusions: Negotiating which fixtures or personal property are included or excluded from the sale. Rent-Back Agreement: If the seller needs more time to vacate, a rent-back agreement can be negotiated. Closing Costs: In some cases, I negotiate for the seller to pay a portion or all of your closing costs. Warranty: Requesting a home warranty paid for by the seller. Escalation Clauses: In a competitive market, I may add escalation clauses to automatically increase your offer. Earnest Money: Negotiating the amount of earnest money deposit to show the seriousness of your offer. Title and Survey: Ensuring clear title and negotiating who pays for title insurance and survey. Closing Location and Time: Sometimes, I can negotiate the location and time of the closing to make it more convenient for you. Coordination of the Purchase Process: I coordinate the extensive purchase process, organize inspections, ensure deadlines are met, and act as the liaison with other professionals involved in the transaction like mortgage brokers, attorneys, insurance agents, title companies, and home inspectors.
