Receiving an offer is arguably the most exciting part of listing your home for sale. Someone is interested in your property and has prepared a formal offer to buy it!

​

What is an offer, exactly? It’s simply a legal document that shows the price the buyer is proposing to pay, which may or may not be the same as your listing price. An offer will include other details, such as the requested closing date, and may also include one or more contingency, such as inspection, financing, or appraisal contingencies. 

​

When you receive an offer, we will go through all of the details with you so you know exactly what they're offering and what, if anything, they're requesting from you. In the case of multiple offers, we will prepare a report that compares them against each other in an easy to follow format. In addition, we’ll make sure there are no potential problems that might prevent the deal from closing – such as the buyer being unable to arrange financing. The steps of vetting an offer may sound complicated, but that's why we're here. We'll take care of all of the details. This includes but is not limited to:

​

• Reviewing the offer with you and explain everything clearly.

• Giving you our professional assessment as to the quality of the offer. If there are things that we find concerning, we'll point them out to you.

• Advising you on whether to accept the offer, reject the offer, or make a counter-offer.

• Preparing a counter-offer, if necessary, that gets you a better deal, without risking the sale slipping through your fingers.

• Skillfully negotiating with the buyer on your behalf, so you sell your house for the highest price possible.

• Preparing all the necessary documents, and working closely with the buyer and his/her agent to make sure the transaction goes through smoothly.

• Ensuring all deadlines are met by both parties. 

• Communicating with you throughout the entire process. You’ll never be in the dark when you work with us.​
