Making an Offer
You have found the home that matches your needs and desires. Making an offer involves much more than simply naming the price you are willing to pay for the property.
Your offer should include the following: price and deposit amount, financing terms, date of occupancy, inclusions/ exclusions, inspection and/or any other contingencies (sale of current residence, etc.)
Financing Terms: If you require a mortgage in order to purchase the home, your offer will specify the amount and terms of such financing, accompanied by a pre-approval letter. A cash offer should be accompanied by proof of funds. In addition, a Buyers Financial Information form may be requested.
Date of Occupancy: This is an important date to establish between the buyer and the seller. It is the target closing date.
Inclusions and exclusions: All property, fixtures, appliances, and/or furnishings that are included or excluded in the sale should be clearly identified.
