Step Seven, Eight & Nine
Offer,UnderContract&Negotiations
Price is one of the many considerations when deciding which offer is best for your home Here are some of the other factors we will discuss
PRE-APPROVAL OR PROOF OF FUNDS
A letter provided by the buyer from their lender establishing financing credibility or proof of the buyer’s funds if it will be a cash offer on the home
CONTINGENCIES
A provision in a contract stating that some or all of the terms of the contract will be altered or voided unless a specific event occurs, by specific dates, leading up to the closing Examples include: financing, inspection, appraisal, and buyer’s home sale
APPRAISAL
A professional appraiser provides an opinion of the value based on a visual inspection, using recent sales of similar properties, current market trends, and aspects of the home to determine the property’s appraisal value
If the buyer is seeking a loan to purchase your home, they will need to have an appraisal performed by the bank to verify the home is worth the loan amount The offer may be contingent on the appraisal As a seller, we want the property to appraise for at least the sale amount or more It is very difficult to successfully contest your appraisal
PossibleOutcomes
If the appraisal comes in at or above the sale price, we ’ re in the clear and one step closer to closing!
If the appraisal comes in below the sales price, renegotiation with the buyer will occur, or canceling and relisting the home may occur
INSPECTION
The buyer may hire a Wisconsin licensed home inspector to examine the condition of your property and provide a detailed report
