WRITING AN OFFER

Once we have found the perfect home for you, its time to write an offer.

Here are a few of the most important terms you can expect to include in a typical offer:

PRICE:
First, we determine the price you are willing to pay. I will provide you with advice for a fair market price by using recent comparable home sales, as well as active listings currently on the market.

DEPOSIT:
The deposit is a show of good faith that this is a serious offer. This money will be put down in a trust account
within Century 21 Creekside Realty.
At the time of completion, these funds are then transferred to the lawyer/notary to be put toward the
purchase of the home. These same funds then go toward all or part of your down payment with the lender.

COMPLETION DATE:
The date that the conveyancers will transfer all the funds from the buyer to the seller and transfer the
ownership of the title to the buyer.

POSSESSION DATE:
The date you are granted legal possession of the new home. Typically this is one or two days after completion
to ensure that the previous owner has time to move after the confirmation of the new ownership.

INCLUDED ITEMS:
By default, all fixtures that are attached to the home are included within the sale. This includes blinds, screen
doors, curtain rods, valences, etc. It does not include detached items such as curtains, paintings, hanging
mirrors, standalone shelving/cabinets, portable fireplaces, etc. If there are any items that are important to be
included within the sale, this is where you would want to state it and we will insure there is a link in the purchase agreement stating this.

Is there any pieces of furniture that fit a unique area and would be hard to replace? Are there curtains you
would like to keep? Include it in this section - also be sure to mention the washer and dryer if that’s important.
Don’t be surprised by suddenly being without laundry!
