OFFERPRESENTATIONOpen houses are essential when selling aproperty. Think about it: when we hold an open house,you're exposing your property to the world,especially if you do it regularly. That meansthat each of those events will give yourproperty renewed attention on all of theonline portals and make your listing pop upin front of more potential buyers. Andbecause this is physical real estate we'retalking about, an open house also gives thema chance to experience your home in person!Not only does this mean more eyeballs onyour property —the extra foot traffic meansthat someone who's just looking for fun orout of curiosity might end up being your nextbuyer.Offer presentations happen any time wereceive an offer or offers. We'll get togetheras a team to review the offers with you, sowe can compare them and decide on whichone to accept or counteroffer. In a multiple offer situation, we'll reviewthem all at once. This strategy is idealbecause it allows us to compare offers fromdifferent buyers at once, rather thanreceiving them one by one over time.OPEN HOUSE

CONTINGENCYPERIODIn real estate, a "contingency" refers to a condition of the Agreement of Salethat needs to occur in order for the transaction to keep moving forward. Asthe buyer, there are many contingencies that they can choose to include inyour contract.Passing this period, if everything looks good at this point, there are just twomore stages before closing: a title search and transfer of ownership.By working closely with me and other industry experts, you'll be better ableto understand what contingencies are all about, when they're most likely tobe necessary, and what you can do to make sure you're in the best positionpossible for dealing with contingencies when they arise.

02Most contracts are also contingent on the buyer's financing. We don't acceptoffers unless we have the buyer's pre-approval from a lender.Financing Contingency03Inside the buyer's financing their is often an appraisal contingency. This means thebuyer's financing is contingent upon the home appraising for their purchase price.Appraisal Contingency04CONTINGENCIESSome contracts are also contingent upon the buyer selling and closing on their current home. There will be additional paperwork and dates we abide by with this type of contingency.Home Sale Contingency01Every contract has an option for an inspection contingency.
