Our Respective Duties
11. Inspections
Inspections and potential repairs are the number one reason sales don’t close.
Typically, buyers have a certain number of days in which to inspect the
property and accept or reject the property based upon these mechanical and
structural inspections.

12. Home Warranty Plans
Home warranty plans go a long way to alleviate some
risks and concerns. For a modest price, the seller can provide
to the buyer a one year warranty covering specified heating,
plumbing, electrical, water heater or appliance breakdowns.
Coverage under most plans commences at closing. In all
cases, there are important limitations and exclusions
(example: appliances/systems must be operative at
commencement of coverage).
13. What You Do & Don’t Control
As The Seller, You Do Control These:
• Property Condition
• Availability for Showing
• Price
• Availability of a Home Warranty
As The Seller, You Don’t
Control These:
• Competition
• Buyer’s or Seller’s Market
• Interest Rates
• When The Perfect Buyer
Walks Thru Door
14. Selling Price Vs. Timing
• Timing is extremely important in the real estate market.
• A property attracts the most activity from the real estate community and
potential buyers when it is first listed.
• It has the greatest opportunity to sell when it is new on the market.

15. Pricing Factors
As the triangle graph illustrates, more buyers purchase their properties at market value
than above market value. If you price your property at market value, you are exposing it
to a much greater percentage of prospective buyers and you are increasing your
opportunity for a sale.

16. Pricing Misconceptions
Correctly pricing your property has
nothing to do
with the following concerns:
How Buyers & Sellers Determine Value
Its determined by what a BUYER is willing to pay and what a SELLER is willing to
accept in today’s market. Buyers compare your property to other properties
ACTIVE and SOLD in your area. That is why it is so very important to price your
property correctly at the time you sign your listing agreement.
