  • For Home Sellers: Preparing For Inspection Day

    Posted on May 4th, 2009 Sarah Ley No comments

    As your Realtor, Sarah Ley will be your expert guide in negotiating the many possible scenarios that may occur once an offer is accepted. One of the most important considerations is the home inspection. Most buyers will choose to have a professional home inspection company inspect the home prior to their purchase of it. Taking this into consideration, you may wish to prepare your home by repairing any known issues.

  • For Home Sellers: Completing the Buyer’s Requested Repairs

    Posted on May 4th, 2009 Sarah Ley No comments

    Should the buyer’s home inspection find items in your home that need to be repaired, the buyer will send you a written request of items or conditions that they would like to have you repair prior to the close of escrow. You have the option of accepting the conditions and performing the repairs, or countering if the buyer’s requests seem unreasonable. Be forewarned, should you decide not to accept the buyer’s requested repairs, or counter what they have asked for, the buyer has the right to cancel the contract, and receive a full refund of all earnest money deposited (assuming they are still under the time constraints of the inspection period designated in the contract).

  • The Closing

    Posted on May 4th, 2009 Sarah Ley No comments

    Your home’s closing, also referred to as the “close of escrow,” is a date set forth in the purchase contract by which all of the necessary paperwork from the title company, the buyer’s financing, the seller’s repairs, everything agreed upon by both parties to the transaction will be complete. The close of escrow signifies the completion of the transfer of the property from seller to buyer. Recordation takes place, and the day of close of escrow officially belongs to the buyer.
