Expectations In order to prevent confusion or miscommunication:
My client response to all offers within 48-72 hours. If an offer is accepted, status will remain active in the MLS per MLS rules. Accepted is NOT ratified. Accepted means that the submitted offer meets the Seller’s minimum criteria and eligible for presentation for corporate review. Alerting other agents that a contract has been accepted and ratification is pending will be added to the agent remarks in the MLS. Other offers will be submitted if the Seller request. If the Seller elects not to accept any additional offers, any contracts that are received after contract acceptance will be held as back-up.
Although rare, the Seller may elect to pull the property at any time to put it up for auction or take it off the market. At times, bank owned properties are backed by investors, and are sold in blocks to other investors. If the subject property happens to be in a block that goes up for auction or is pulled from the market, the EMD check will be returned and the contract will be considered “Null and Void” whether or not it’s ratified and the listing will be immediately withdrawn from the MLS. This is a business decision, not personal and there is nothing I can do to sway the decision if that happens. Please do not schedule an inspection/appraisal etc until my office has confirmed all utilities are on at the property and that it has been de-winterized. The BEST way to coordinate is to send my office an e-mail at least four days prior to any inspections. We will submit the request immediately and follow-up with you upon completion. Please refrain from calling or e-mailing every day to check the status or de-winterization/utilities. We will be sure to get you updates as soon as they are available to us.
It takes up to a MINIMUM of 2-5 BUSINESS DAYS for the signed contract to be returned from my client. If I receive it earlier than that, I will forward you the signed contract via e-mail. Set this expectation with your client(s). Please refrain from calling me to inquire as to why you haven’t heard anything about the contract UNLESS IT’S BEYOND THE TIMEFRAME GIVEN ABOVE. If at any time the lockbox combination is shared with your client(s) OR keys are removed from the lockbox and handed over to your client(s) prior to closing, I will notify your broker and request that the property be rekeyed at your expense. DO NOT PUT YOUR LICENSE ON THE LINE TO PLEASE YOUR CLIENT(S)!
Closing may be delayed because of title issues. So do not panic! It is better to close late and have a legal transaction than to rush to close and have your client(s) stuck with a house they can’t sell. I suggest projecting the close date 45 days out from the date of contract but keep the flexibility of closing earlier. The close date will not be moved up based on verbal agreement. IT HAS TO BE ON AN ADDENDUM. To avoid headaches, do not request to close during the last week of the month. You will be competing with thousands of other contracts and some will be pushed out to keep the bank’s workload manageable.
