Outside: – Keep the grass cut and free of weeds.

Showing Your Home

It is not necessary for you to be present during showings. Lock boxes (that fit over an outside doorknob and hold a key to your home) will be provided by your Realtor in order to facilitate the showing of your home, with your permission, in your absence. If you desire to remain during a showing, we have found it best that the sellers minimize conversation with the buyers. Let your Realtor respond to the buyer’s questions about price, occupancy, terms and other contractual questions. Sometimes your Realtor may seem to overlook features you think are important. This is because your Realtor knows the buyer’s likes and dislikes and is attempting to emphasize what is important to the buyer.

Prior to any Open House/Showing:

  • Turn on all lights & open all drapes. Remove distracting personal memorabilia, such as the “family bulletin board” on the refrigerator.
  • Turn off the TV and all loud distracting music; turn on soft, relaxing music.
  • Avoid cooking meals immediately before a showing.
  • Remove all pets from the house.

Negotiating the Purchase Agreement

As soon as any written offer is received, we will discuss it with you and answer any questions you may have. You decide whether to accept the offer as written, or to make a counter offer on any of the contract items (including price, closing date, occupancy, and other negotiable items). Please bear in mind that your we are required to present all written offers received, even though the terms and conditions of a particular offer may not meet your expectations.

Closing

Once agreement is reached between buyer and seller, the sale of your property is complete. It is the custom in the Orlando area that “earnest money” be held in escrow, until the transaction is closed. Between sale and closing, we will keep you advised on the status of the buyer’s loan application, inspections reports, any repairs that may be indicated, and the closing process. At the closing table, you will receive a statement summarizing the disbursement of all funds – including your net proceeds from the sale.

Congratulations!
