Write a Winning Purchase Offer

Once you have looked at Ocean Hills homes, writing the offer becomes very important. After working hard all your life for your money, you don’t want to pay too much.  However, you do want to be successful in buying that Ocean Hills Country Club home. It is time to  contact Gary Harmon, your Real Living real estate agent and write the purchase offer.

Most things are negotiable in the offer, but in San Diego North County there is a standard to follow on most items. A good rule of thumb, using an old clicke, is to make any purchase offer a win-win for everyone. Your North County Realtor will know how to advise you.

Keep Your Offer Simple

Keep the purchase offer on the Ocean Hills home for sale as simple as possible. For example, don’t ask for closing cost back unless you need the cash.   Ocean Hills Country Club sellers will only be looking at the net price. Don’t ask for repairs up front. You can handle those later in the request for repairs. Structure you offer to keep things simple and clear for everyone to understand. If there are any items of personal property you are requesting that don’t normally come with the home, do them separately after you have an acceptance on the home. Don’t forget the big picture which is to buy your Ocean Hills home, not to get a good deal on a refrigerator, etc.

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

Focus only on what is important. The first important thing is the sales price. Your Ocean Hills buyers agent, Gary Harmon, can provide you with comps of other Ocean Hills homes to help you pick the right offer price. In this current Ocean Hills real estate market, homes are selling at or above listing price. If you offer low, many times you won’t get a counter offer, so put your best foot forward. The deposit, in Ocean Hills, usually at least three percent of the purchase price, is the next important item. How long an escrow will you need? It takes at least 30-45 days to get all the loan details worked out. Other items to consider are who pays escrow, title, and other closing cost. Ask your Realtor, Gary Harmon, what is customary in Ocean Hills Country Club.
