Submitting Offers On Pre-Owned Homes
In a competitive real estate market it is likely that a seller will receive multiple offers. Obviously, sellers will go with the offer that nets them the most money. Naturally, we want your offer accepted. Let us help you negotiate the best deal.


Seller Expenses:
1. Real Estate Broker Fees
Broker fees are the biggest expense for sellers. Sellers can expect to pay about 6% of the sales price. This fee is split between the listing agent and the buyer's agent. Consider offering 3-6% over asking price to cover broker fees. The buyer rebate will be 2% of the purchase price on pre-owned homes. *broker fee must be 3%+.
2. Title Policy
The Title Policy is another expense that the seller would generally cover which is about 1% of the sales price. However, whichever party is paying for the title policy will pick the title company. Consider, if able, to pay for the title policy.
Obviously, our goal as your Broker/Agent is to equip you with information that will get your offer accepted. Moreover, these are suggestions; things to consider when making an offer. Clearly, the seller is looking for the best offer. However, it is your money and your call on what your offer will look like.
