Keep possession and repair responsibilities clear
Describe any rental agreement, family occupancy, or unfinished move-out. An offer should not assume the house is vacant just because the owner lives elsewhere. Access and possession need to be arranged with the people entitled to occupy the home.
Then work through the repair list. You can discuss an as-is price before repainting or replacing finishes. Ask which costs and remaining belongings are included so the final handover does not depend on an informal promise.
What to have ready
- Exact address, parcel details, and current occupancy
- Known condition issues and records relevant to this property
- Your preferred timing and questions about the written offer
Your offer should answer these questions
Who is the contracting buyer? Is the purchase direct or subject to assignment? Which costs are covered, what conditions remain, and when would possession transfer? Ask for written answers and compare the proposed net proceeds with your other options.
You can start with a call. We review the address, condition, and timing, arrange an appropriate property visit, and discuss whether an offer makes sense. No inquiry commits you to sell.
Questions from Smith Village sellers
Can I sell if a relative still lives in the house?
We can discuss the situation. Explain the occupancy arrangement and obtain advice on any rights, notices, or possession requirements before promising a move-out date.
