Contract & Offer Contingencies

When you finally find the property you've been searching for, you might find yourself asking "Now what?" Before we get there, I highly recommend reading through the sample contract provided so you will be ready to discuss the main terms of the contract. Those terms are price, earnest money, financing type/down payment, closing date, closing costs, and inspections. This is the largest financial purchase you will probably make and that is exactly how I treat it. When you have a clear understanding about the information in the contracts, you'll be able to strategize to be competitive and to also protect yourself. Let's start with the price. What should you offer? My pricing method will educate you about the difference between market value and appraised value along with an after renovation value. It will also help you determine how you value subjective features. This way, you'll know your limits and feel confident with your offer. Financing is addressed on the purchase agreement and it's just another reason to have your pre-approval done prior to looking at homes. You'll need to know which loan product you'll be using (FHA, Conventional, DVA or Cash), what your down payment is, how much your closing costs are and how much earnest money you'll need to deposit. The next contingency we'll need to address is the inspection contingency. I highly recommend getting a home inspection on any home (including new construction). This is your opportunity to hire an inspector of your choosing to take a closer look at the property and potentially catch any hazardous items before moving forward. Every house is different which means every offer will be slightly different. My job is to make sure you have all the information you need in order to make an educated offer.
