Finding Checklist
Submit Offer and Negotiate
Putting in an offer to buy a home and negotiating a final price can be challenging, but knowing what similar properties are worth in advance and getting a seller’s disclosure can make the process easier. And if your initial offer is rejected, it doesn’t mean you have to give up yet.
We’re here to walk you the the negotiation process of bidding, offers and counter offers all while advising you with our best practices. We also offer hourly services from licensed real estate agents and lawyers who work by the hour so you can keep the most out your commission.
If you choose to utilize our unique service, you will be able to communicate with sellers directly to negotiate the purchase of your new home.
Negotiating Checklist
Financial and Legal Services
Once your offer is accepted, it’s time to schedule a home inspection and submit your mortgage application. While an underwriter reviews your mortgage application, they will conduct an appraisal of the property you’re buying, which could affect your deal. We also offer related escrow services, title reports and NHD (Natural Hazard Disclosure) inspections. If all goes well, your loan will be approved.
