5 Steps to Choosing the right Offer on your Home

You and your Realtor have worked hard to sell your home, now you have more than one offer - how do you determine which one is the best one?   Sometimes it is very easy to determine, but sometimes there will be advantages and disadvantages for each.  

 Here is a plan for evaluating the offers and determining the best offer when selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home

  1. All offers are negotiable, therefore, you have the option to accept it, reject it or respond with a counteroffer.
  2. Determine which terms are the most important to you.  Many times price is the most important.  Some will say that the closing date is the most important.  Another consideration is accepting the offer from a pre-qualified buyer so that you have security in knowing the transaction will not fall thru.
  3. Don't be offended by offers.   Selling your home is a business transaction not an emotional relationship.  Do not be offended by a "lowball" offer because the buyer felt your home was outdated. Simply consider the offer a an indication that the buyer is interested and realize the buyer is using negotiating tools to get what HE wants.  Negotiate in return. 
  4. Evaluate all the terms of each offer, not just the price.  Is the buyer asking for property and fixtures such as appliances, furniture or window treatments??  Is the buyer asking you to make concessions, like covering closing costs?  
  5. Ask questions to determine what is most important to the buyer.   You may find out that the buyer needs to move quickly which would allow you to be firm in your price but offer to close quickly.

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and...
