When it comes to negotiating a possible sale, these are parties involved that will have an influence on the agreed upon final sale price:
- You, the Seller, interested in getting best possible return on investment and terms.
- Seller’s Agent, who will work hard on your behalf to protect your interests and get you the most for your home in the shortest possible time.
- Seller’s Attorney, protects legal interests of seller.
- The Buyers, who are looking to get a great deal and pay the least money possible.
- The Buyer’s Agent, who’s loyalty is to the Buyers to represent their interests.
- The Buyer’s Attorney, protects legal interests of buyer.
- The Home Inspection company, hired by the Buyers, who may find issues (large or small) with your home to give the Buyers further opportunity to negotiate.
- The Appraisers, if there is a question over the value of the home.
- Lender or Bank Representative, oversees the lending process and close.
- Title Company, to ensure clear title and transfer of property.
In most cases, there is only one person who communicates with every entity on this list from contract to close and that’s the Selling Agent.
