Accepting the Best Offer
There is no definition of “the best offer;” it depends on your needs. For some, it’s all about the best price. For others, it’s also about selling quickly. Some sellers agonize, wondering whether waiting another few days will gain them a few more dollars. While that’s always a possibility, you may not want to gamble on the chance that the current buyer will lose interest. There is always a “what if” scenario, but keep in mind that “what if” can have a downside.
Once you’ve found an offer that meets all of your qualifications, including financing details, and you have agreement from the buyer, you will begin the process of preparing for closing. This will include the buyers getting an inspection, a survey, an appraisal, and arranging for two walk-throughs with the buyer.
