  • Full legal name(s) of the Seller(s)
  • Full legal name(s) of the Buyer(s)
  • Address of the subject property
  • Legal description
  • Easements and encroachments
  • Lot size
  • Side of the street the property fronts on
  • Sale price
  • Amount of deposit
  • Conditions (financing, home inspection, sale of a property, etc.)
  • Chattels included in the sale
  • Fixtures excluded
  • Rental equipment
  • Closing date

Every real estate transaction is unique. It is a good idea to contact your real estate lawyer to discuss your situation. Do not sign anything until you have got a legal opinion.

Professional Staging - What About The Outside Of The Home?

Professional staging has become very popular in recent years. Home sellers use the service to improve the appearance of their property. It is a fact that staged homes sell faster and for more money.

What about the outside of the home? Should it not be staged as well? After all, first impressions count and this a great place to start. The appearance outside will determine if a potential buyer wants to take the next step and view the inside.

This is a project a do-it-yourselfer can tackle on their own. There are many websites on the internet that have ideas how to landscape a property.

With spring here, all nurseries and garden stores are overflowing with product. Plus you have the opportunity to talk to a professional that can share ideas.

If you are selling your home, consider staging the outside as well as the inside.

Overpricing Your Home Will Waste Money And Energy

Overpricing your home will cost you in many ways. All sellers have one goal. Sell for top dollar and as quickly as possible.

The internet has changed our lives. You can get information about anything in a matter of minutes. Real estate buyers are well educated now and will determine if your price is in-line.

Here are some reasons why overpricing your home is not a good idea.

  • Your time. This will involve taking calls, showing the property and hosting open houses.
  • Advertising expenses. If you run any advertising on the internet or in newspapers that you pay for, it could be money wasted.
  • If the buyer requires mortgage financing, the offer could die if the selling price is too high. The mortgage company will use the appraised value rather than the sale price. For example, your offer is for $300,000. If the appraisal comes in at $275,000, the buyer will have to pay an additional $25,000 down payment for the transaction to go through. It is highly unlikely that they will pay more for a home than it is worth. Then you will be looking for buyer that falls within the 3% that will pay cash and don't require a mortgage.
  • A home that sits on the market for a period of time becomes a 'marked sale'. Potential buyers will wonder why it has not sold. If they submit an offer, no doubt it will be a low ball. They feel that the seller is now desparate and are more flexible.
