Timeline:
1. 0:54 - Size up the offer price vs net proceeds to due you upon closing. The devil is truly in the details! Ask your trusted real estate advisor to provide you with an estimated net proceeds break down as the offer was submitted.

2. 1:40 - Factor any buyer requests for seller concessions! Common seller concessions explained!

3. 4:38 - Repair expenses resulting from the buyer's home inspection and/ or the appraisal report!

4. 6:09 - Work to understand the prospective home buyer's situation. Gaining insight will aid in your negotiation success to terms that amicable to both you and the buyer!

5. 6:39 - Is the buyer "pre-qualified" or "pre-approved" for their home loan?

6. 8:28 - What type of home loan the buyer is using? Each loan type may have specific requirements that MUST be fulfilled pursuant to the lending guidelines for the buyer's home loan!

7. 9:31 - Timing considerations!
Get clear on the time requested for:
- The closing date aka close of escrow
- Buyer's due diligence
- Appraisal contingency
- Financing contingency
- Inspection contingencies
- And any other contingency's that may be included in their offer!

8. 8:23 - How long will it take for the buyer to get final mortgage underwriting approval?

9. 11:34 - The date of closing vs possession date! Are you requesting a seller leaseback (aka post possession agreement) or is the buyer requesting early occupancy?

10. 12:32 - What contingencies are in the buyer's offer?
Common Contingencies when Buying a Home:
- Buyer's Due Diligence
- Inspection Contingencies
- HOA CC&R's review period (if applicable)
- Appraisal Contingency
- Financing Contingency
- Other contingencies that may have been added to the purchase agreement aka their offer

11. 14:01 - What types of home inspections are the buyers performing?

12. 15:02 - Is the buyer selling a house to buy yours? This is often referred to as a "contingent upon sale." This is also an example of "other" contingencies that may be added into the buyer's offer for your house.

13. 16:47 - Final thoughts!

Thank you for watching! =)

Enjoy an amazing day!
