FLEXIBLE

Be as flexible and accommodating to the buyer’s schedule as possible We want to avoid having missed opportunities if at all possible

INFORMED

Make sure everyone in the home is informed when showings are to happen so they can keep their spaces clean

DAILY CLEANING

Keep up with daily cleaning Wipe down the kitchen and bathroom counters before leaving for the day.

ODORS

Neutralize odors and make sure the house smells fresh.

Keep pet areas clean Clean up after your pets immediately and wash their bedding regularly. Hide pet food or litter. Not everyone is a pet person and it may hinder a potential buyers’ ability to picture themselves living in your home FURRY FRIENDS

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
