Paint is an easy way to breathe new life into your home. It also helps you appeal to a broader range of potential buyers. You might love the paisley wallpaper, but everyone’s tastes are different. To be safe, stick with fresh, neutral colors.

What to Expect in a Negotiation

Most transactions involve a fair amount of negotiation between the initial offer and the signed contract. My experience can be indispensable in these situations. Keep in mind that price isn’t the only thing that’s negotiable in the sale of your home. A potential buyer can add any number of terms to the contract, which may make the offer more or less attractive to you.

Some of the most common elements to consider:

Mortgage Contingency

Buyers who are getting a mortgage will have the terms of the mortgage and a time frame for securing financing in the contract.

Home Inspection

Buyers will to hire a licensed home inspector to identify potential structural or material problems. If the inspector uncovers any issues, you and the buyer must negotiate what items will be addressed, by whom, and who will pay for them.

Closing Date

Putting a Deal Together

Putting a deal together is half the battle. Keeping it together is the other half, and it can be every bit as challenging.
