Personal Consultation With The Team Leader Joseph Goodman & The Goodman Group: We provide homesellers a comprehensive home value analysis(CMA) to ensure accurate pricing when selling your home, a pre-listing plan so you know the order of events and what will be happening.A key part of your marketing plan is setting the list price. Quite simply, if a home is priced too low, you miss out on potential profit.

• Offers and Negotiations Process: After all the back-and-forth on price, concessions and repairs, it’s finally over and your offer to purchase the home was accepted. While you may think that your work is done at this point, think again.Granted, you and the seller are no longer front and center on the home purchase stage; there are some details you’ll need to attend to after the offer is accepted. For the most part, however, this is the point where real estate agents really earn their money and a good one proves that he or she is worth every penny
• Coordinating The Transaction:Most large and many small real estate brokerages employ a transaction coordinator. This is the person who coordinates all of the details on the road to the close of escrow.Once you sign the purchase agreement our team checks it over for accuracy and ensure signatures and initials are in the proper places.Most of the time a real estate transaction is held at two different title companies or also known as a split closing.
 

•  Title Company:The next step in the process is to order a title search on the property and the issuance of a Preliminary Title Report. Our team delivers or emails it to the title company who checks it over for any issues not addressed in the purchase agreement. A common item found in a preliminary title report is a lien or an additional loan on the property that wasn’t previously reported to the buyer. This is brought to the attention of the buyer and the seller must clear the cloud on the title or the buyer can cancel the agreement.

• Buyers Contingency Removal:While all of the above is happening on your behalf, without your involvement (other than to review the Preliminary Title Report and sign off on it), the next step in the process requires your involvement.It’s time to remove the contingencies in the purchase agreement. Contingencies are events that must occur, according to the date listed in the contract, before the sale can close. Typical contingencies include:
• Final loan approval: Failure to obtain a loan will kill the deal.
• Inspections: Repair issues that arise from the home inspection are typically open to negotiation between the sellers. If the seller refuses to remedy any concerns, you have the right to cancel the contract with the full return of your earnest money deposit.
• Home sale: The successful sale of your current home.
• Appraisal: If the home fails to appraise for the amount you are borrowing from the lender, you can negotiate with the seller for a lower price, pay a larger down payment or walk away from the sale.Once the contract contingencies are removed you can still walk away from the deal but you will forfeit your earnest money deposit and be liable for liquidated damages if your contract includes such a clause.

• Buyers Final Walk Through:The final walk-through is typically scheduled within the week leading up to the close of escrow and is your opportunity for the buyer to look at home one last time before they buy.This is not the time to bring up new issues, but to ensure that the home is in the agreed-upon condition before they purchase it.

• Closing & Settlement Statement:The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) dictates that the parties to the transaction must receive the settlement statement (typically called the HUD-1) within 24 hours of closing. This statement is an itemized accounting of all charges imposed on both parties. These charges include the real estate broker’s fees, buyers earnest money deposit, appraisal fee, transfer taxes, loan payoff and more. The statement clearly outlines from whom the money is taken and to whom it is credited.Closing attorney and our team will be there with you to go checking it carefully for errors.

 

• What to Bring to the Closing:The escrow officer can answer any questions you may have about what documents to bring to closing. The following list does not cover everything, but here are the basics of what you will need to bring with you:
• Photo identification,keys,garage door opens etc

Be prepared to sign lots of  papers than you ever imagined was possible to sign but when its all said and signed YOUR HOUSE IS SOLD!! From contract to close we are with you every step of the way
