Local, Realtors® = a Better Experience

A fully prepared real estate agreement will be sent to your email for final verification and electronic signature. Once signed, the documents will automatically be delivered to the Seller or Listing Agent. The seller may accept or counter your offer. If countered, your assigned agent will help negotiate agreeable terms between the parties. If accepted, escrow will be opened and your deposit will be sent per the contract.

After both parties agree to terms, the assigned agent will assist in opening escrow. If using a loan to purchase, Buyers will begin working closely with their lender to order the appraisal and submit required documents to ensure approval and funding. Once the Seller provides disclosures, our transaction management team will assist Buyers in making sure all required documents are completed prior to close. Disclosures will be sent through Docusign for approval and electronic signature.

It is recommended that Buyers complete a home inspection for any property they purchase. Your agent can assist in scheduling inspections with trusted local partners within the first week of opening escrow. A general home inspection will cover the basic items within the house, however, sometimes additional inspections may be needed. Additional inspections typically not covered in a general inspection include Roof, HVAC, pool, and septic.

Prior to closing escrow, your Partner Agent will submit a request to escrow instructing them to credit you up to 50% of the real estate agent commission paid by the seller. This credit will be paid at closing and will show up on your final HUD. The commission credit is subject to lender approval and can be used to pay recurring and non-recurring closing costs, including buying down your mortgage interest rate if you’re using a loan.

A few days before escrow closes, we’ll help you schedule a final walkthrough. As soon as funds are in escrow, closing will take place and keys will be scheduled for pickup!

Once you’ve selected your desired listing path (or if you have further questions), we will connect you with our listing team who will reach out to you within 4 hours for a free seller consultation. We will confirm the price targets you’re looking for and provide guidance on which path may produce the best outcome for your desired needs. If you decide to move forward, you will be assigned a local Partner Agent, and depending on your chosen path, your listing agreement will be sent via electronic signature for signature.

Once your home hits the market and a Buyer requests a tour of your home, you will receive a text or email from our system confirming the date/time of the requested tour. You can simply reply Y to confirm or N to reject the request and recommend a new time. You can also set desired day/time restrictions or open houses to simplify the process.

You will be provided with required seller disclosures to complete either upon listing or once an agreement is made. If your property is within an HOA, you will need to order your HOA docs (often an upfront fee from your HOA is required) direct from your Home Owners Association. Your transaction manager will assist in preparing and sending seller disclosures to you via electronic signature.

After the Buyer has completed all of their property inspections, they may request a repair adjustment. This may either be something that they request you fix prior to close, or the request can be in the form of a credit towards closing costs. Although you’re not obligated to accept any repair requests if you’re not in agreement, at that time the Buyer may cancel the contract if the terms are not agreeable.

After the Buyer has reviewed all of your Seller Disclosures, and the terms of any repair request are acceptable, the Buyer will remove all contingencies and the home will move to close. If the Buyer is using a loan, the appraisal contingency will be removed typically once the home comes in at value, an adjustment to the price is made, or an agreement is made for the Buyer to pay the difference.
