Structuring the Sale
Offer Acceptance and Counter
The seller may accept an offer as written or respond with a counter-offer.
Once the parties agree on the basic terms and conditions, a contract of sale or offer and purchase agreement is prepared and reviewed by both parties.
Our legal team of advisors can then be engaged to draft the contract to ensure that the transaction is structured in a way that affords our client the most protection while minimizing risk and the tax impact of the sale.
Importantly, unlike most other brokerage firms, we do not take the business "off the market" and discontinue marketing and showing the listing until escrow is closed. Thus, we actively pursue "back-up" offers in the event the pending deal falls apart.
