Jan Sanner--Fort Wayne's Leading Realtor

Meaningful Commitment!

 
Less than a week ago the "For Sale By Owner" ad for your home appeared for the first time in the newspaper. After several showings, a family has shown interest in buying your home. In fact, they just called you back to say they want the house. Hooray!
 
They plan to see a mortgage lender right away, and have asked you to hold the house until a week from Thursday. They say they will be "in touch" soon. What do you do now?
 
Agreements for the sale of real estate should be in writing to be enforceable. Such an agreement states the purchase price, tax information, details of financing, a closing date, the date of possession and identifies any personal property to be included in the sale, and other information. At the time an agreement is signed, it is also customary for the buyer to provide an earnest money deposit, a sum of money acceptable to the buyer as proof of the buyer's serious intent.
 
Consider this. Sincere buyers, who truly intend to keep their end of the bargain, would have no qualms about signing a written agreement spelling out the specific terms agreed upon. If they hesitate to sign such an agreement or will not offer an earnest money deposit, you might ask yourself whether they are really serious buyers in the first place.
 
The sale of your home is a serious business transaction. A REALTOR can represent your best interests by qualifying buyers and preparing an appropriate agreement of sale. Marketing your home at the best possible price and terms is important too. A REALTOR understands the local real estate market and is able to provide buyers qualified to purchase your home. Take no shortcuts. To sell your home, call a REALTOR!
 
If you are planning on selling your home soon and would like information on its current value, please feel free to call me at 260-489-7024 or outside of Fort Wayne call 1-800-395-9527.
