ACCEPTING AN OFFER

The Price Is Not Always Right

While price matters, the highest offer isn’t always the best. Offers come with terms, conditions, and timelines that can greatly affect your bottom line. At Earned Run Real Estate Group, we help you evaluate every proposal to identify the strongest overall offer—not just the highest bid. You can rely on our experience to guide you toward the right decision for your situation.

Negotiating To Win

Negotiation is both an art and a responsibility. We’re committed to ethical practices while keeping your best interests front and center. Our agents evaluate each offer with care and help you maintain leverage throughout the process—ensuring a fair, favorable outcome while keeping the buyer engaged.

The Initial Agreement and Deposit

Once terms are agreed upon, you and the buyer will sign the Purchase Agreement. The buyer will then place their deposit into escrow—a neutral third party, such as a title company or attorney, that handles all funds until closing.

Depending on local laws, the Purchase Agreement may require buyer “consideration”—a good-faith deposit held in escrow to ensure the buyer follows through on all contingencies. These typically include inspection results, financing approval, and any agreed-upon repairs or terms.

Tips for a Smooth Closing Process:

• Document Everything. Every offer, counter-offer, and agreement should be clearly documented. We will assist in drafting all necessary paperwork and ensure both parties receive signed copies.
• Stay on Schedule. The Purchase Agreement will outline important deadlines. Meeting these ensures a smoother negotiation period and helps prevent breach of contract. We’ll track every milestone, keep you informed, and prepare you for each step ahead.

With Earned Run Real Estate Group by your side, you can move through the final stages of your sale with confidence, knowing that every detail is being handled with care.
