at Compass to help make the process as smooth as possible and to provide
the highest level of guidance to you in selling your most valuable asset.

Receiving an Offer

Once an offer is made, I will contact you to review the terms of the offer
and to analyze the pros and cons.
Together I will help you decide how to respond to the buyer in one of several ways:
By accepting the offer, rejecting the offer, or making a counter offer.

Step 9

Negotiating the Details

The contract is negotiated and accepted, and the transaction summary is circulated to all parties. I will observe and record all contingency periods throughout the in-contract stage. A property appraisal and home inspection take place, and any further negotiations are managed. All financial and supplemental information is collated and submitted to the managing agent.

Step 10

Completing the Close

I will monitor and coordinate all the details necessary to get you to the finish line. Once the buyer has performed inspections, removed their contingencies, and the loan (if any) is ready to fund, we'll arrange the final walk-through.
Finally, at closing you will hand over keys to the buyer.
