Step 6: Show Your Home

Be prepared for showings at any time. Keep your home neat, clean, and staged to perfection. Ensure dishes are washed, laundry is put away, and clutter is kept at bay. Regular cleaning and tidying will create an inviting atmosphere for potential buyers.
It's also essential to vacate the premises during showings to make buyers feel comfortable.

Step 7: Negotiate and Accept an Offer

When a buyer expresses interest, they'll present a written offer, outlining the terms, mortgage details, and any contingencies. You can either accept the offer or negotiate for different terms.
My expertise comes into play during negotiations, ensuring your interests are protected.

Step 8: Sign a Purchase and Sale Agreement

Once you and the buyer agree on terms, you’ll both sign a legally binding Agreement of Purchase and Sale detailing the specifics of the home sale, including contingencies.
It serves as the formal agreement between the seller and the buyer, detailing the specifics of the sale.

Step 9: Cooperate with Inspections

The buyer will hire an inspector to assess your property thoroughly. They will inspect various aspects, including the roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), structural components, appliances, and more.
If any repairs are needed, negotiations may occur. Rest assured, I'll guide you through this process.

Step 10: Period Until Closing

The real estate lawyer begins by meticulously reviewing the Agreement of Purchase and Sale with the seller, focusing on crucial deadlines. Addressing the buyer requisitions promptly and effectively is the key to making sure the closing arrangements are set, the sellers rights are protected, and ultimately both lawyers are in agreement on key issues.
If there's an existing mortgage, the lawyer requests a payout statement, managing the legal and financial aspects of all the documents associated with the ensuring the mortgage is removed from title. The lawyer prepares and provides essential documents, such as the Statement of Adjustments, to the buyer's lawyer. This step is crucial for outlining the financial transactions and adjustments required at closing.
Organizing a meeting with the seller to review and sign the final closing documents is a pivotal step. This also includes collecting the keys to the property, symbolizing the transfer of ownership.

Closing Day

The lawyer is responsible for delivering the closing package, including final documents and keys to the buyer’s lawyer and for receiving the closing funds. They ensure the transaction is finalized correctly, overseeing the release of the transfer deed.

Discharging any existing mortgages or liens and ensuring appropriate payments are made, including real estate commissions, fall under the lawyer's purview. They also report to their client and confirm that all seller undertakings with the buyer’s lawyer have been fulfilled.

Congratulations you have successfully sold your home!
