Is Zillow Accurate?

  • ​Zillow comes up with the value based upon what your neighbors are selling for

What to Disclose?

  • Over-disclosure is better than under-disclosure

Should I Take the First Offer?

NO NO NO!

What Are Contingencies?

"When a buyer has made an offer on a home and the seller has accepted it but the final sale is contingent on certain criteria being met."

  • This criteria, or contingencies, typically fall under four major categories: appraisal, loan approval, inspections and reports & disclosures

Contingency Timeframes

"Now we're in contract prior to contingencies being removed. Now we're in business."

  • The buyer now will secure their loan, have their inspections on the property, and review all of the reports and disclosures
