The Offer
It is NOT standard to involve a Lawyer in a Residential Real Estate Transaction in the State of Arizona. I do advise that if you have any legal questions concerning the contract, other forms or documents involving the purchase of a home, or any other concerns that you do seek legal council.
Arizona sets the standard in the development of a clear, concise, and overall easy to understand Real Estate Contract. Some Buyers feel more comfortable getting familiar with the Purchase Contract early on in the buying process. If you wish to review a blank copy of the contract, please feel free to contact me so that I can send you one.
The Offer is written up on the 9-Page Purchase Contract and is then sent to the Seller for their review. If the Seller decides to accept the contract they sign the contract and it becomes an executed offer. The Seller may also choose to reject the contract or sign and return it to the buyer along with a counter offer. It is then up to the buyer to either accept, cancel, or counter back. This process can go back and fourth several times. I try my hardest to keep this from happening by keeping an open line of communication with not only my Buyer but also the other agent throughout the negotiation process.
The majority of offers that I wrote during the first couple years of my Real Estate Career came at a hot time in a serious Seller's Market. Buyers had a huge disadvantage, especially if they were not willing or able to write an offer for well above asking prices. This is no longer the case as we have seen the pendulum swing in favor of the Buyer.
I try diligently to stay ahead of the crowd when it comes to adapting in a changing market and developing new skills. I am definitely not afraid to fight for my Clients and get them the best deal possible. I have recently taken a certification course giving me the designation of "Certified Negotiation Expert."
Please go here and register so that I can help you begin the process of finding the right home and purchasing it at the right price.
If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact me.
