Make an Offer
-
When you've found The One, we'll sit down together and write up a Sale Agreement, a.k.a. "An Offer".
-
It typically takes 30-45 days form the date the offer is presented to the date the deal closes. The time may be longer or shorter, depending upon you and the Seller's needs.

We present your offer to the Seller via their Agent. We sometimes send a personal letter from the Buyer to the Seller, to help create a relationship. We may also present your offer in person if the Seller allows.
-
If a Seller wants to alter the offer, we negotiate on your behalf to reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
