FAQs

Linda, do I need to be prequalified?

It is generally a good idea to get prequalified. Many sellers require a prequalification letter with your offer to purchase. So you should have that readily available when it comes time to make an offer. In general it will make your offer look stronger.

Linda when we find a house we like how do we buy it?

It is a many step process here is a brief overview of the process You will need an earnest money check to accompany the Offer to Purchase. This may be in the form of a personal check, or in some cases a certified check. A minimum of 1% of the sales price is deemed adequate in most cases. When your written Offer to Purchase is presented to the seller, he has three choices: 1. He can accept your offer 2. He can reject your offer 3. He can make a counteroffer. Negotiations after the initial written offer are conducted verbally until an agreement is reached. When the seller accepts your offer, or you accept his counteroffer in writing, you have a binding contract for sale on that property. Your earnest money will be deposited in the listing broker's trust account to be held until closing.

Linda, is it best to make a really low offer at first?

It is important to remember that if you make a low offer on a home and the offer is rejected or countered, another prospective buyer may submit an offer that may be accepted by the seller before you have the opportunity to submit another offer or accept the seller's counter to your offer. I have even heard of experiences where a buyer made a low offer to the seller, and the seller was insulted and refused to entertain any more offers from the client.

Linda, would it be in my best interest to work with several Realtors and not just one?

It is in YOUR best interest to work exclusively with me. I have access to every home that is in the Triangle Multiple Listing Service I am self-employed, not on an expense account, and will be paid only when I find the right home for you. Your loyalty is appreciated and in return you will receive the maximum in service from me and my team. All of my time and professional advice, experience, and assistance is FREE to you!
