Mortgage Loan

A loan offered by a bank, mortgage company, or other financial institution for the purchase of a primary or investment residence. In a home mortgage, the owner of the property (the borrower) transfers the title to the lender on the condition that the title will be transferred back to the owner once the loan has been fully paid and all other terms of the mortgage have been met.

The person borrowing the mortgage money either has or is creating an ownership interest in the property.

Any organization lending the mortgage money, but usually a bank or other financial institution (Lenders may also be investors who own an interest in the mortgage through a mortgage-backed security. In such a situation, the initial lender is known as the mortgage originator, which then packages and sells the loan to investors. The payments from the borrower are thereafter collected by a loan servicer.).

The original dollar amount of the loan, which may or may not include certain other costs; as any principal is repaid, the principal amount will decrease.

A financial charge for the use of the lender’s money.

PREPARE TO SELL

PREPARE TO SELL

What to Do To Prepare:

The following are a couple of factors to keep in mind when listing your property for sale:

1. Curb Appeal

Keeping your landscape pristine and adding creative touches to your yard, such as colorful annuals will create an immediate impact on passers-by and potential buyers.

2. Property Repairs.

Simple upgrades such as window repairs, polishing the doorknobs, and a fresh coat of paint in the most frequently used rooms will instantly brighten the property.

3. Cleanliness and Staging.

Keep your property uncluttered, sweet-smelling, and well-lit from top to bottom. Pay attention to details: put away the kitty litter, place fresh flowers near the entryway, pop a batch of cinnamon rolls in the oven, and have your carpets cleaned. Your agent will scan the property before it is listed for sale to see how you can improve its staging.

4. Disclosures and Inspections.

We are very familiar with the legal procedures involved in disclosures. We are ready to help you develop an authoritative disclosure statement that benefits both you and the buyer and suggest home improvement measures before placing your property on the market (such as 45 termite and pest inspections).

5. Showtime

We will take care of presenting your property to potential buyers. Buyers feel more comfortable discussing the property with the agent. Moreover, your agent will know what information will be most helpful in representing your interests when speaking with prospective buyers.

ACCEPTING AN OFFER

ACCEPTING AN OFFER

What Is Your Property Worth?

Without a professional agent, most independent property sellers tend to overestimate the value of their property. You can avoid this pitfall by consulting with an experienced real estate agent.

The Price Is Not Always Right.

The lower the price, the better the offer.’ Do not let yourself be fooled by this popular misconception. Price is not always the determining factor when accepting an offer for several important reasons: the initial offer is usually not Final, and there are a number of terms and conditions that may influence the outcome of a price. You can trust our professionals to help you thoroughly evaluate every proposal without compromising your marketing position.

Negotiating The Right Way.

We take the ethical responsibility of fairly negotiating contractual terms very seriously. It is our job to find a win-win agreement that is beneficial to all parties involved. You may even have to deal with multiple offers before ratifying the one you judge to be the most suitable for you, and as your agents, we will guarantee a thorough and objective assessment of each offer to help you make the right choice.

The Initial Agreement and Deposit.

An effective agreement is a legal arrangement between A potential purchaser and the property seller. Laws vary from state to state, but in order to be legal. The binding agreement may require consideration. This consideration (initial and additional deposit) is to be held in the closing agent's escrow account pending the fulfillment of conditions or contingencies in the effective agreement.

Some essential tips to keep in mind to streamline the process even further:

Keep written records of everything

For the sake of clarity, it will be beneficial to transcribe all verbal agreements, including counteroffers and addendums, and convert them to written agreements that are to be signed by both parties. We will assist you in drafting the paperwork for your sale and make sure you have copies of everything

Stick to the schedule.

Now that you have chosen your offer, you and the buyer will be given a timeline to mark every stage in the process of closing the real estate contract. Meeting the requirements on time ensures a smoother flow of negotiations and that each party involved is not in breach of their agreements. During the process, we will keep you constantly updated, so you will always be prepared for the next step.

ESCROW, INSPECTIONS, & APPRAISALS

ESCROW, INSPECTIONS, & APPRAISALS

Inspections and Appraisals

Most buyers will have the property inspected by a licensed property inspector within the time frame that was agreed upon in the effective contract to purchase. Some buyers will have several different inspectors inspect the property if they wish to obtain professional opinions from inspectors specializing in specific areas (EC, Roof HWA, structure). If the agreement is conditional upon financing, then the property will be appraised by a licensed appraiser to determine the value for the lending institution with a third party. This is done so that the lending institution can confirm that its investment in your property is accurate. A buyer of a commercial property may also have a complete environmental audit performed and/or soil test, if required by the lending institution.

The Closing Agent.

Either a title company or an attorney will be selected as the closing agent, whose job is to examine and ensure a clear title to real estate. After researching the complete recorded history of your property, they will certify that 1) your title is free and clear of encumbrance (e.g., mortgages, leases, restrictions, or liens) by the date of closing, and 2) all new encumbrances are duly included in the title.

Contingencies.

A contingency is a condition that must be met before a contract becomes legally binding. For instance, a buyer usually includes a contingency stating that their contract is binding only when a qualified inspector has a satisfactory home inspection report.

Before purchasing your property, the buyer goes over every aspect of the property as provided for by the purchase agreements and any applicable addendums. These include:

  • Obtaining financing and insurance.
  • Reviewing all pertinent documents, such as preliminary title reports and disclosure documents; and
  • Inspecting the property. The buyer has the right to determine the condition of your property by subjecting it to a wide range of inspections, such as roof, termite/pest, chimney/fireplace, property boundary survey, well, septic pool spa, arborist, mold, lead-based paint, HVAC, etc.

Depending on the outcome of these inspections, one of two things may happen:

1. Either each milestone is successfully closed, or the contingencies will be removed, bringing you one step closer to the closing, or

2. The buyer, after reviewing the property and the papers, requests a renegotiation of the terms of the contract, usually the price.

How do you respond objectively and fairly to the buyer when a renegotiation is demanded, while acting in your best interests?

This is when four professional listing agents can make four fundamental differences in the transaction's outcome. Having dealt with various property sales, we guarantee our expertise and total commitment to every customer, no matter their situation.

Loan Approval and Appraisal.

We suggests that you accept buyers with a lender's pre-approval, approval letter, or written loan commitment, which is a better guarantee of loan approval than pre-qualification or no documentation from a lending institution. Expect the appraiser from the lender’s company to review your property and verify that the sales price is appropriate.
