What did one purchase look like after settlement?

One buyer paid $1,760,000, which was $65,000 under asking. Eighteen months later that home sold for $1,970,000, a 12% gain on the purchase price. Not every deal looks like that. Price and property choice work together.

How do we write an offer that still protects you?

In a market that often sells near list in about a week, buyers still need an offer with financing and inspection contingencies to protect the buyer. We set those terms from your lender letter, the inspection window you can live with, and what recent 20895 sales actually closed with. You stay covered without guessing.
