Submitting an Offer to Purchase a Home

I want to submit an offer on a home---how long do I give the seller to respond?

When submitting an offer to purchase a home, its customary to give the seller some time to respond.  In a regular transaction, 24 hours should be sufficient.  If submitting an offer on a bank-owned property or on a short-sale property, more time may be needed (usually the listing agent will make a note in the listing stating that extended response time is needed).

The seller may respond any time within that 24-hour period.  They can do one of three things:

  • Accept your offer!
  • Flat-out refuse your offer
  • Counter your offer

If they accept your offer as submitted, please make sure you receive the signed offer back from the seller as soon as possible.

Or if they counter your offer, the time frame of 24 hours is no longer in effectthe seller has refused your initial offer but is countering back to you .could be price or terms or both.  Any other offers coming in may be entertained by the seller during your negotiations with each otheryou could lose the home When you receive the sellers counter, you may accept or counter backat that time putting a time frame again on the offer. And rememberthe seller has every right to accept another offer during these negotiationscant stress that strongly enough!

The bottom line: a home is not considered "pending" or "under agreement" until final agreed upon offer is signed by both the buyer and seller.

                        9 Tips to Maximize the Value of Your Home

                        Are you about to sell your home? Here are our 9 top tips for getting the most value out of your home:

                        • Clean, organize and neutralize your space.   Unclutter every room in your house to make it look bigger and cleaner.   Buyers need to be able to envision their own belongings in the home,  so remove excessive family photos, trinkets and personal effects.   Space is one of the top selling points for a home, so by removing clutter and extra furniture, etc., you maximize the spaciousness
                        • Get your landscaping in order.    Your lawn should be groomed, power wash the driveway and paths.  Adding flower boxes and pots underneath windows and along the front; repair any cement damage and discard any old yard furniture.     A first impression is important.    Make sure the walkway leading to the front door is as attractive as can be; and of course, be sure the front door is freshly painted and decorated.
                        • Clean the carpeting, polish the hardwood floors and allow sunshine to pour through the windows to avoid a dark looking house.   You might want to repaint rooms that have dark walls and freshen other rooms with neutral paint.
                        • The kitchen is often the room that buyers gravitate towards first, and an updated kitchen can help sell your home.   You do not have to remodel your kitchen to give it a new look.   Updating appliances to current standards and replacing cabinet doors and hardware can make a big impact if you are able to.
                        • Make your bathroom shine.    Be sure personal toiletries are put away, counters are clear and the sink(s) and tub and shower areas sparkle
                        • Store and organize.  The appearance of ample storage space is a plus, especially when it comes to garages, the basement and closets.
                        • Lighting.  Be sure the outdoor light fixtures throw ample light.   Be sure there are ample light fixtures and lamps indoors.   Buyers preview homes at night too, so increase the wattage of your light bulbs.
                        • Homebuyers are swayed by their senses.   Be sure your home smells fresh.    Eliminate pet and harsh cleaning odors, musty smells in the basement and last nights cooking odors.
                        • Be sure all valuables are stored in in a safe place.    Do not leave jewelry, money or prescription medications lying around for obvious reasons.   A few buyers may not be honest.    This is not the time to have medications in unlocked medicine cabinets either.   Buyers open closet and cabinet doors, so why make them privy to the types of medications or jewelry you have?
