    Once you have found the right offer, the next step is to make a purchase offer to the seller. Its a big step. Here are a

    few considerations well discuss together...

    Well 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.

    Well decide on f inancing...

    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.

    Well consider 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 wi ll have three choices: accept your offer as it is presented; reject it completely; or propose adjustments to your offer (make a counteroffer). If there is a counteroffer, you can choose whether to accept it or reject it.

    Once you have reached agreement with the seller, you have a firm contract to purchase your new home!
