The sale of your home . . . THE PROCESS When someone prepares an offer, they notify your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties sales associate, who then makes an appointment to present it to you (all offers for your property must be presented to you). Review every offer, comparing the financial qualifications and time frame of each Buyer. You may accept an offer as is, reject it, or make a counter offer and send it back to the Buyer to see if they are willing to accept your terms. Your sales associate will counsel and advise you, but the final decision will be yours. In turn, the Buyer then may accept your changes, reject your counter offer, or come back with another counter offer. This process continues until a deal is agreed upon or negotiations are terminated. Your Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Robert Paul Properties sales associate will be armed with information to negotiate the best deal for you. For your protection, an earnest money deposit will be collected from the Buyer with the Offer to Purchase prior to acceptance of any offer. The Purchase and Sales Agreement formalizes in more detail the original Offer to Purchase. It expands upon what has already been agreed to, without changing the original terms unless both parties agree. The date for signing a Purchase and Sales Agreement is customarily as soon as possible after the acceptance of the Offer to Purchase/ Letter of Intent. Final closing day is when you and the Buyer sign all the paperwork and the documents are recorded at the Registry of Deeds. Once your attorney presents an executed deed to the Buyers and you receive a check for the amount agreed upon, your house is successfully sold.
