- Be at your side when the offer is presented.
- Request information about the buyer’s background, intentions and qualifications.
- Ensure that the buyer is knowledgeable about available financing alternatives.
- Thoroughly review the contract and ensure that you understand all the details.
- Guide you through key stages of the process – contingencies, inspections, disclosures, escrow, buyer financing, and any unusual terms and costs.
- Negotiate the sales price and terms that are most advantageous to you.
- Provide you with information about recent market activity.
- Provide you with specific information about local, state and federal requirements that affect the sale of property. These requirements may include state codes such as: Transfer Disclosure Statement, Smoke Detectors Compliance, Environmental Hazards Disclosure; and Federal requirements such as: The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) and Lead Paint Hazard Reduction Act.
