How to Write an Offer with

Your Lakeland FL

Sandpiper Golf Homes

Agent

After choosing the home of your dreams, the

next thing to do is discuss the purchase offer

with your real estate broker in Lakeland 55+

communities so you can immediately submit it

to the seller. A well written offer would

undoubtedly please a seller and would increase

your chances of owning the home. Listed below

are some of the tips real estate agents share

when writing effective offers.

1. Finalize the purchase offer amount

Simply put, you have to know how much you

are actually willing to pay. This is

inconsideration of all the factors you have

encountered. Be careful not to write extremely

low ball offers that may just insult the seller.

Seek the guidance of your Lakeland FL real

estate broker before submitting an offer.

2. Detail the financing

Another part of the purchase offer which

cannot be missed is the detail on how the

home is supposed to be paid. This means

being clear with the financing you will be

using to pay the home. It is important to

have pre-approval for a mortgage so you can

be confident on this area.

3. Include your down payment

Down payment is usually the ready cash

paid by the buyer upfront upon or even

before making an offer. Down payment

shows that a buyer is actually capable and

serious in securing the home they found in

4. Put in the earnest money deposit

Also called the good faith deposit, this is the

sum necessary to be deposited prerequisite to

having an agreement about the home. This can

shoo away non-serious buyers of the home who

are not willing to cash out, mostly because

initial deposits can actually be retained by the

seller under some circumstances.

5. Determine and include other terms

A purchase offer also needs to have the details on

the terms of cancellation, expiration of offer, who

should settle the closing costs, inspections and

repairs to be performed, settling disagreements,

and schedule of when the property will be

officially under your name. These details are

crucial to be discussed with your Lakeland FL

Sandpiper golf homes agent.

An offer must be well written and

must satisfy all the requirements.

Forms may vary per state but rest

assured that your Lakeland 55+

communities real estate broker can

surely help you settle and prepare
