Make informed decisions when evaluating offers on your property.
If you're a seller receiving an offer, you might have questions about your options. One of the most common inquiries I hear from sellers is whether they must accept a full-price offer. The short answer is no. Even if you receive an offer at the asking price, you are not obligated to accept it.
A crucial aspect of evaluating an offer is understanding both its monetary and non-monetary terms. Monetary terms include the sale price, closing cost assistance, and the earnest money deposit. Non-monetary terms encompass contingencies related to appraisals, financing, and title work. Carefully review these aspects to make an informed decision.
It's equally important to gauge the buyer's commitment. Are they pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage? Distinguishing between these two can save you from potential complications down the road. Ensuring that the buyers are genuinely interested in your property helps minimize the risk of them walking away after a contract is in place.
