We present any and all offers - regardless of amount - in writing for your consideration and decision. We then follow up with a phone call to discuss your options.

We utilize a variety of negotiation techniques. All negotiations are documented in writing. You will receive these via email before they are sent to the buyer agent.

Our goal is to create a documented ‘paper trail’ of all interactions between seller and buyer. Counterproposals are presented in writing first, then are discussed over the phone.

Offers must be accepted in writing. We utilize electronic document software to provide ease of signing.

You will also be required to sign that you agree.

A buyer has an “unrestricted right to terminate the contract” during the option period for any reason (or even without). The option period is designed for a buyer to have inspections done of the home to determine that it is in the condition they expect.

Inspections often reveal hidden issues (minor or significant) requiring repair which are then addressed during the option period. Examples of how to address repair concerns include: price adjustments, cash toward closing costs in lieu of repairs, actual repairs done by local contractors, etc. There is no way to anticipate repairs until the inspections are performed. The best approach is to “play the hand you’re dealt.” Rest assured The Same Team has worked through thousands of these issues, and we are prepared to provide the best guidance possible toward a satisfactory resolution and successful closing for you.

The commitment for title insurance will be forwarded by the title company with any deficiencies noted. This is when the title company will request documentation of your existing loan (if you have one) to obtain payoff information.

There will be a lag between the end of inspections/option period and the closing date while the lender finishes the loan documentation.
Here are some probable occurrences:

• Loan is denied. This can happen even with preapproved loans.
• Closing date does not occur on the estimated contract date (typically later).

Magical words to hear from the buyer’s lender! This means all lending processes are done and the file is ready to close. If there are any insurance issues, you will likely hear about them during this period.

Our Listing Management Team will schedule a time for you with the title company to appear. Typically, you will get your settlement statement prior to closing for review. At the actual closing, the title company representative will review your settlement, get you ‘signed off,’ and fund your money by check or wire transfer.

Please bring extra keys, garage door/gate openers, etc. to closing OR leave them on the kitchen counter.
