When reading an offer, keep in mind that you are out to get the best price AND the best terms for you. If you focus solely on the price, you may overlook terms that could be favorable to you as a buyer.
Some terms that may work in your favor:
higher-than-market-interest in a second mortgage for your home
the buyer will pay for most or all of the closing costs
the buyer will take care of any repairs
quick close - the buyer is pre-approved and ready to close in a timeframe that best suits you
all-cash deal
When reading through offers, remember to look at the whole package. Take the time that you need to assess what is being offered and if it meets your needs.
I needed to sell what had been my mother’s home for some 70 years as part of her estate. Being in probate nothing was straightforward, but Doug helped me with everything. He guided me through the legal issues and negotiations, got the house prepared for sale and obtained a price that exceeded my expectations. Since I live out of town, Doug went the extra mile after the sale, and took care of all the arrangements for the personal property. Doug has my complete confidence. He is a pleasure to work with.John S.
