HOW WE PROTECT YOU FROM CUNNING BUT COSTLY FINE PRINT
We’ll make sure you understand the hidden costs, adversarial terms, and gotchas in the offers you consider!
Tim Coen — Broker and Owner of Priority Home Realty Group
Each offer you receive for your house is a proposed contract. You can accept it, reject it, or counter-propose, but once you reach an agreement and sign it, it becomes legally binding.
Real estate contracts get longer and more complicated every year, so you really need an expert to review and analyze it for you, someone who is alert and understands the fine print, because every detail will influence your experience and your bottom line.
HOW DO I PROTECT YOU FROM CUNNING BUT COSTLY CONTRACT DETAILS?
Here are some of the key areas we will pay attention to! This is a summary list. When you let me help you SELL SUCCESSFULLY, I use years of experience, insider information, and expert insights to understand these and other contract details so I can protect you.
I’ll also make sure you have realistic expectations about what we might see in each of these areas based on current market conditions, so you hopefully won’t be caught off guard or surprised when you see them.
Purchase Price and Terms
Most sellers look here first, because the selling price feels most important, but I'll also make sure you understand how the rest of the variables like earnest money, down payment, and loan amounts affect you. I'll give you a projection of your net proceeds based on all the variables in the offer.
Conditional Sale
I'll make sure you know whether this contract is conditional on another closing, and I'll carefully research the risk factors to you if it is!
Seller Concession
I'll alert you if the purchase price is offset by discounts like seller concessions, and I'll make sure you understand how those concessions affect you in what-if scenarios like appraisal renegotiation.
Buyer's Agent Commission
I'll make sure you understand how much the buyer is asking you to pay their agent, since this will directly affect your bottom line!
Inclusions and Exclusions
I'll make sure understand EXACTLY what you'll need to leave and what you'll need to make go away--those details will have a huge impact on how you feel about your sale!
Dates and Deadlines
I'll make sure you understand when the contract will close and money will change hands, when possession will transfer, and what the implications are if those dates are different.
I’ll also make sure you understand how each date creates an obligation for you or for the buyer, or an opportunity for the buyer to cancel or renegotiate, because the way these dates are organized will dictate much about your life and your stress.
Seller-Paid Items
I'll pay attention to all the fine print and check boxes all through the contract so you understand exactly what you are obligated to pay for, because the impact on your bottom line could be significant.
Additional Provisions
I'll make sure you understand how these items and clauses can dramatically alter the rest of the terms of the contract, either in your favor or against it.
“Tim has so much knowledge and experience. Combined with his integrity and work ethic, he is the only realtor I would recommend. The marketing of our home was superb. He always responds to any communication as soon as possible and is available every step of the process. It was a pleasure working with him.”
Please TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PLANS AND PRIORITIES so I can apply my experience and skill to equip you to choose the buyer and offer that will work best for you!
I want you to be so enthusiastically happy with the way I take care of you that you will introduce me to others you care about who will benefit from my help!
Here’s what some recent buyers have said…
“My wife and I have had the best real estate experience with Tim. Out of all of the brokers we have worked in the past Tim has been the best by far. Tim is very knowledgeable of the real state market, process, etc. I enjoyed brainstorming and discussing our options with him during the entire process. He is very personable and people oriented. He understood our plans and helped us accomplish them without pushing his personal agenda. When it comes to real estate I would only work with him. I strongly recommend him!”
