The agreement of sale is a standard form and is all about your offer and needs

• How Much
• When you want to Close
• What Inspections and Contingencies

The standard Inspections are: 

• Home inspection by a certified home inspector. 
• Radon Test 
• Termite/Pest Inspection. 

PA Reply to inspection:
We fill this form out within the 10-day Inspection Period—the inspection period starts on day one after an agreement of sale is signed/executed.  

When you receive your home inspection report listing the defects and cost estimates for repair/replacement (a high and low estimated cost) this way, you have an idea of what numbers you’re negotiating with.

You have options on how you move forward:

Professional remediation: 

“At the seller’s expense, “x” should be remediated by a certified electrition…) 

(FYI)You only get two walks thru’s before closing: 

1-You can check if the repairs are completed.  

2- The day before or the morning of closing: ensure it is clean, everything in the contract is done, and its broom swept.

Sellers Assist or Lowering the Sale Price: that is where you are talking about actual money off the Sale price or payment at Closing.

Seller Assist is a feature of many loan programs that is used to help a buyer pay for a portion of their closing costs. It becomes a debit to the seller and a credit to the buyer at the closing table.  

Or lower the cost of the Property.

I want you to prepare yourself for the first step after the offer. Knowledge is power. It also makes the process go smoother.
