Tips For Selling Your House : Why Contingencies Matter & How To Protect Yourself

selling homes

26 Tips You Should Know To Get Your Home Sold Fast For The Highest Amount and Less Hassle!

Original Article

Because your home is more likely your largest asset, deciding to sell your home is not a decision that you should take lightly.

 Everyone wants to sell their home for top dollar,  fast and for the least amount of money.

Tip #17  On contracts and contingencies . . when are they enforceable? 

First things first. .a contingency is a condition inside a contract 

simple enough

If you are selling your home on your own, you should be familiar with this

So lets review what I think are the most common contingencies you will find. .

  • Financing Contingency 
  • Appraisal Contingency 
  • Home Inspection Contingency 
  • The sale of another property Contingency

There are others as well. .
You may find contingencies for Radon test, Mold Inspection, septic tank inspection. .
The point is that you are going to find all types of conditions  attached to the offer of purchase. .

An offer with fewer contingencies and a fair price should be more attractive for you than an offer with lots of conditions paying you a little more.

Can you negotiate a contingency?
Of course!
Inside a contract, everything is negotiable.

A great example would be to counter removing the sale of another property contingency.

As a listing agent advising my client, I would never relinquish the control of the sale to the marketing savvy of another agent or FSBO

What if their price is unrealistic?
Perhaps in another market. .
these days, 
I would think twice before accepting an offer with a sale of another property contingency

Nothing is set.. 
You should consider all offers.. 
It all depends on your goals and if you are willing to take a gamble on the sale of your house.
Remember
Don't  frown upon a contingency filled offer to purchase your home

Everything is negotiable!

Tips On Selling Your House: Negotiating Tips To Get More Money

selling homes

26 Tips You Should Know To Get Your Home Sold Fast For The Highest Amount and Less Hassle!

http://www.reallynicehomes.com/blog/tips-selling-your-house-make-buyers-bite-trick/

Because your home is more likely your largest asset, deciding to sell your home is not a decision that you should take lightly.

 Everyone wants to sell their home for top dollar,  fast and for the least amount of money.


Tip #7 In life you don't get what you deserve. .you get what your negotiate!

A Quick Observation:

While preparing for this post. .I had the opportunity to see the worse of negotiating from all things. . another Realtor with an offer for  one of my listings. . 

The lesson from this experience is a simple one:
            
                Never negotiate against yourself!
I promise you...you will lose.

Once he made an offer, he waited for my response and I decided to use the silent:  
"I can't believe you are offering me this: . . technique

 One of the most powerful weapons during negotiations

 silence

 Chirp 
chirp 
[Cricket Silence}

 He couldn't stand it. . . and proceeded to tell me that maybe his client was willing to offer $25,000 more. .

 I had to say something ..otherwise he would have paid us more than listing price!

 This goes to my next tip for you.. 

 GET IN WRITING. . .
Yes, an oral agreement could be enforceable..but not on my turf!

Written proof for validation. .

 "Would your client take $225,000 on your $300,000 listing Fernando, I don't want to "waste" my time.."

 " I don't know, put it in writing and lets find out!"


Another tip. .specially  if you are an FSBO

Hello?
Are you the one selling the house in 1233 Elm Street?

 "Yessss!"

 and your asking price is $250,000?

 "Yesss!"

Look, I know you have this house in the market for a little while now. . but I have a client that maybe interested to buy your property. . .

 "Could you tell me what is your ABSOLUTE lowest price you are willing to take if I bring you a quick closing?"

 While I'm waiting for your answer. .

My client is willing to ignore the power lines behind your property. .
also 
My client is willing to possibly not do a home inspection. .but I'll have to ask him. .
plussss
My client is also willing to ignore the outdated electrical panel and will cost home upwards of %5,000 to bring t up to code. 
I mean . .
to be legal. .
... .you know what I mean. . [smile like you just both committed a crime]
so. .
"Could you tell me what is your ABSOLUTE lowest price you are willing to take if I bring an offer by this evening"

 Well, I was asking $250,000. .

 "I guess I will be willing to entertain a $240,000 and that is my final answer.. ."

 Not so fast. .
he means. .
That is his new asking price and we will negotiate from this point on. .down!

 All I know, I just made $10,000 for my client.. .and more possible to come.

 And that brings me to the next tip. .
Amplify and/or turn down the volume. .but never make up stuff to get someone to see it your way. .
The above is just a general example. .
You have to see the flaws first 
use them . .and then
AMPLIFY!
This is also how I use charm to get what I want for my clients?

Listing Your Home For Sale?. .Considering FSBO?

Listing Your Home For Sale?. .Considering FSBO?

Why It's Never Been Easier To Sell Your Own Home

Yes, I know the Internet has leveled the playing field for private home sellers. It's never been easier to find a buyer for your house, or to find your new home . .but do you really need a Realtor anymore?

Deciding to sell your home can be somewhat  confusing, stressful and depressing all at about the same time. Selling it on your own and you can double that anxiety unless you have someone to assist you during the process.

Clarksburg RealtorSomeone that is a professional and a person with a plan!

A plan that will help you avoid the pitfalls in selling.

 Is not about just selling it. . is about selling it for the MOST MONEY!

I have spent many years in the real estate industry and practiced the profession  in 5 different states.  I helped homeowners sell their own homes over 375 times!  and I can assure you that on those 375 homeowners. .at one time or another have thought about saving their commission and doing it solo.

 The funny  thing about real estate, it's about being the most expensive investment many people will ever have in a lifetime. .but yet  everyone thinks they're an expert in the field just because they own a home.

 This over confidence has humbled and cost thousands of dollars to many potential for sale by owners (FSBO's)

 Let's talk about one of the many tasks that has to be accomplished if you want to sell it for the  highest amount.

  Marketing your home and attracting buyers is a skill that costs a lot of time and money.  These days we are overflowed with information and ads everywhere. You definitely need to stick out and you will not do it with a yard sale mentality to sell your own home.

 You are not selling old furniture, toys, or old clothes in a yard sale.
A couple signs, a couple arrows and you are in business?
You are selling a house!
Unless you want to sell it at yard sale prices, this is the wrong approach!

Plan carefully when making the decision to sell your home as an FSBO and just be sure that when you are ready to move forward, you have interviews with at least 3 professionals to compare your plan of attack to theirs. By preparing yourself and your home for the sale you'll be surprised how easy is to see the tremendous value hiring a professional to do the job right. .and you take charge of  that yard sale to make your moving experiences less hectic!
