Now that your home is on the market, and your Sales Associate has brought you an offer, you will appreciate having a strong individual and advocate assisting you with the transaction.

Negotiating the Offer

Your Sales Associate will immediately present and explain all offers to you. You will be able to accept, reject, or counter any offer presented. During the negotiation process, your Associate will leverage their experience and skills to advocate your interests:

• Reviewing the contract and obligations before you sign.
• Explaining how contingencies and release clauses work.
• Protecting you from signing a "blank check" for unknown problems or repairs.
• Defining legal disclosure requirements.
• Orchestrate the offer process for "back-up" offers, if necessary.

Throughout the negotiation, your Associate will provide you with a professional, objective point of view, but the final decision of accepting an offer is yours.

After the Offer is Accepted

Once an offer is accepted, your Associate will manage all the details to make the process as stress-free and efficient as possible:

• Staying in contact with the buyer's agent to ensure a smooth escrow.
• Following up on the progress of the buyer's loan.
• Monitoring all contingency removal deadlines.
• Assisting you if a conflict with the buyer arises.
