How to Make an Offer for a Home

Posted on March 5, 2015 by Melanie Kramer Realtor

When you find the home you want to buy the next step is to make an offer. A successful offer will have a few key components.

Know Your Price

Knowing your market will help you make an offer the other party will want to sign. As a real estate agent I help pull together information about the trends and statistical data of the neighborhood. I’m always happy to offer advice on an offer price. It is important to remember that the more competition there is for the home, the higher the offer should be – sometimes exceeding the asking price.

When we present the listing agent with a written offer and the seller accepts it becomes a legal contract. As this time you should be prepared to pay an earnest money deposit. This is to guarantee that your intention is to purchase the property. Securing a pre-approval for the financing before making the offer increases the chances of it being accepted.

Negotiating Terms

After we present your offer to the listing agent, it will either be accepted, rejected, or the Seller may submit a counter-offer to you through me as your agent. This is when we will negotiate the terms of the contract, if the contract is not accepted as we presented.

The step-by-step contract procedure for most single-family home purchases is standard. The purchase agreement used is a standard purchase and sale agreement contract approved by your local real estate board.

The purchase agreement or contract constitutes your offer to buy, and once accepted by the Seller, again, it becomes a valid, legal contract. For this reason, it is important to understand what is written on the contract offer.

Inspections

Once you have an accepted offer its time to have the property inspected. You’ll probably need a number of inspections.

Termites
Property Lines
Appraisals
Title Reviews
Structural

The Structural inspection is extremely important. It usually takes a few hours. This is a great opportunity to examine the property and learn about possible repairs that may be required in the next few years.

Please call or email me today for more information or questions about buying a home.

The Benefits of Committing to Your Real Estate Agent

Posted on February 5, 2015 by Melanie Kramer Realtor

Loyalty and commitment are the foundations of trust. You reap many benefits by committing to your real estate agent.

We build relationships with both local and out of state buyers and pride ourselves on being committed to find you the perfect home. We work with buyers in a buyer agency relationship.

What does this mean for you?

You will sign a Buyer Broker Agreement. This means we are working for you, our client, in your best interest. Otherwise, you are a customer. It all comes down to whether you want someone looking out for you. Our goal is to represent you in your real estate transaction and provide quality client service.

In Return We Ask You:

To communicate honestly and responsibly.
To willingly provide pertinent information as needed.
To promptly inform me of important changes of any time including timing, requirements, or other critical information that will affect your service commitment.
To request that you pre-qualify for a home mortgage loan if you are financing any portion of your real estate investment. (Local MLX co-oping agreements require that you be pre-qualified prior to showing you real estate properties for sale. Their sellers are being asked to make their home presentable, leave their home while we show it, etc. and I am to pre-qualify you before taking you to their homes.)
To submit a loan application and call lender – required information within the time frames of the contract when financing.
To enter into contracts in good faith and make every effort to adhere to all negotiated contingencies.
To inform all other real estate agents and For Sale By Owners that you are represented by Melanie Kramer of Keller Williams Realty.
Sign a Buyers Brokerage loyalty Agreement.

House hunting can be all consuming. You may come across a home during your daily commute or find yourself at an open house on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Please let them know that you are represented by an agent at open houses and sales offices.

Here are a few Do’s and Do Not’s to help you when you’re out and about.

Sale by Owner / Listings

DO Write down as much information as possible, pick up the hand out or save the ad.
DO Call us with the information. We can pull additional information and details for you.
DON’T Call the home owners agent or owner directly. And please do not approach the owner if you drive by.

Open or New Houses
