Finding a buyer for your home is obviously an important step to selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home - but during the weeks to come, it is critical that you do everything you can to make sure the deal closes!!   Here are a few tips that will help keep your closing date on schedule and your contract in tact. Do Not Ignore Contingencies - Some contracts will require that you do something before the sale is complete.  If your contract designates specific repairs or improvements, be sure to do the job and do it well.  The buyer will notice and it can delay your closing date or stand in the way of finalizing your contract. If it's broken, Fix it!!   The buyer will have the opportunity for a pre-closing walk through - this should be a very exciting and happy time for the buyer.  However, if the buyer notices that things are "falling apart," it leaves a bad impression with the buyer and could prompt the buyers to back out of the sale. Take Deadlines Seriously...

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 All offers are negotiable, therefore, you have the option to accept it, reject it or respond with a counteroffer. 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. 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 ...
