SPECIAL STIPULATIONS
Additional items of the contract for negotiation are known as special stipulations This would include home warranties, clearance of HVAC systems, transferring of any existing termite bonds, pieces of existing furniture, etc. Sellers take these items into consideration and calculate them into their net amount.

By far the most common is the counteroffer. In these cases, our experience and negotiating skills become powerful in representing your best interests When a counteroffer is presented, it may be sent to us on a contract or it may be sent to us by email or even verbally. Any manner in which we receive the seller's counter does not mean it is not a viable counter, it just means that if we counter verbally we MUST have a fully signed and bound contract before you are under contract. A seller has the right to accept another offer, even if we have agreed to terms verbally, up to a point of a fully bound contract.
We will work together to review each specific are of the counter, making sure that we move forward with your goals in mind and ensuing that we negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf.
