Sale of a Property

Buyer Qualification

Before entering into an agreement with someone, you should know if they are reputable and have the ability to close.

Contracts

Whether we use the AIR Purchase & Sale Agreement, or the Buyer has their own agreement you can count on our 30+ years of collective experience to help interpret the agreement and ensure the Seller obligations are met in a timely manner.

Performance

Our #1 strategy for guaranteeing Buyer performance is to secure a qualified back-up offer. The Buyer needs to feel there is a strong demand for the property being purchased and the Seller has options. If not, a Buyer may feel inclined to find reasons to negotiate a price reduction while in escrow. You can expect us to secure one or more backup offers.

Pitfalls

Sellers need to be careful. There are Seller Reps & Warranties that survive the close of escrow. Further, there are disclosures required under California law and you want to have a good grasp of environmental issues should they surface while under contact.

Marketing

Even if we make the deal with the Buyer you have in hand, we suggest launching a full-scale marketing plan. This ties in with our strategy securing a qualified backup offer. Our distribution of first-class marketing materials ensures maximum exposure.
