Once you have found the right property,
the next step is to make a purchase
offer to the seller.

Determine the price you want to offer:

• The price the seller is asking may or may not reflect realistic
  market value.
• The best way to determine market value is with a Comparative
  Market Analysis (CMA) showing similar properties that sold
  recently, those that are currently active on the market and those
  that failed to sell.
• I will discuss with you an estimate of costs associated with
  purchasing this property.

Decide on financing:

• We will review together the status of your loan pre-approval.
• We will work together with your loan officer to explain financing
  options and help you determine the mortgage plan that best fits
  your requirements.

Decide on other issues that are important to you, such as:

• Items of personal property you want included with the house.
• Warranty inspections, repairs or other home enhancements by
  the seller.
• Closing date and possession.

I will present your offer:

• The seller will have three choices: accept your offer as it is
  presented; reject it completely; or propose adjustments to
  your offer (counter offer).
• If there is a counter offer, you can choose whether to accept it,
  reject it or.counter it.

Once you have reached agreement with the seller, you will have a firm
contract to purchase the home.
