There is no more crucial time in your home sale than when you are considering multiple offers and exploring their various terms. Not all offers are equal, and the highest priced offer is not necessarily the best overall offer. The right offer to accept is one that incorporates both highest price and the best terms.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=”All Cash offers” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/earnest-money-img47.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

An offer in all cash has the benefit of being able to close more quickly than a financed offer. This is because there is no lender or loan terms for the buyer to work through.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”First time home buyer programs” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/document-review-img48.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.1em” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

In some states, first time home buyers have additional financing opportunities available to encourage home ownership. These programs typically do not add any additional burden to a seller.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”VA Loan programs” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/mortgage-approval-img49.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.1em” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

 VA loans will typically have an escrow period the same length as a conventional loan. Appraisal standards can sometimes be more strict, so if your home has questionable comps or needs repairs this can complicate the sale.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Conventional Offers” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/homeowner-approval-img50.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.1em” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

The vast majority of offers you will receive are from buyers taking out a conventional loan. Expect an average 30 day escrow period and an earnest money deposit.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Contingent Offers” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/home-warranty-img51.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.1em” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

At times, you may be presented with an offer that is contingent on the sale of another residence. While this does not automatically make this an inferior offer, it does often result in a longer than a 30 day escrow period. If a quick sale is a requirement, this can be a than ideal candidate.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Earnest Money Deposit” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/title-insurance-img52.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

If your buyer is serious about a purchase, and is confident in their ability to close escrow, they will have no problem with providing a down payment in good faith. This is typically around 1% of the listing price. Should the deal fall through after they have removed contingencies, they forfeit this deposit.

[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Closing Cost Requests” image=”https://assets.thesparksite.com/uploads/sites/3/2018/09/final-walthrough-img53.png” icon_placement=”left” image_max_width=”100px” content_max_width=”100%” module_class=”gd18-oversized gd18-boxed-margins” _builder_version=”3.15″ header_font=”||||||||” header_line_height=”1.1em” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”2.1em” background_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”40px|5%|25px|5%” animation=”off”]

It is not uncommon for a buyer to request funds back as part of the terms of sale. This can apply to anything from repairs on the home, to help with the loan downpayment. This amount reduces the net proceeds from the sale of the home.

FSBOs accounted for 8% of home sales in 2017. The typical FSBO home sold for $190,000 compared to $249,000 for agent-assisted home sales

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”2.1em” custom_margin=”||40px|”]

Remember, the point of selling your property is to sell it for the most you possibly can. This is heavily aided by the marketing reach that a real estate agent can offer, and motivated buyers will typically see an agent has having more credibility when compared to a FSBO (For sale by owner).

The more exposure through marketing and onsite visits from participating agents will result in a better chance of receiving multiple offers on your property, which will help add leverage when selecting one that most accurately meets your goals.

Explaining your closing costs

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”2.1em” custom_padding=”||15px|”]

Your total net proceeds are reduced by a number of costs that are typically associated with a property sale. It’s important to know the basics about these. It is recommended that you sit down with a real estate agent who can walk you through a net proceeds estimate to determine your equity at close of escrow.

Despite closing escrow marking the end of the property sale process, it also marks the beginning of an ongoing relationship. Keeping in touch with the agent allows you to continue to use this value able resource of information whenever you need.

A fantastic agent focuses on a continuing relationship that offers you convenience, opportunity and value.  You can always rely on your agent after the closing to help you answer questions about home ownership, provide resources, offer advice, and provide tools to ensure your home ownership experience is a positive one.

Maintaining an ongoing client relationship is just part of an overall commitment to provide a level of service well above and beyond expectations. Your agent relies on word of mouth referrals for additional business, and good referrals allow the agent to devote more time to helping clients and less time to finding them. If your experience is amazing, be sure to tell your friends!
