The process of buying or selling a home should be a pleasant experience, however a little known fact is that close to 30% of all homes that go under contract will end up back on the market before reaching the closing table. Most people believe that transactions fall apart because of financing, inspections, and appraisals. Sometimes those issues will be the legitimate reason for a contract to become null and void. However, there are skilled and creative Realtors that are freely prepared to roll up their sleeves to restructure the transaction in a manner that satisfies both party’s needs. A good Realtor associated with a reputable company will educate you on the market, represent your interests well, and will take the time to listen to you. By following these steps first and foremost, you greatly improve the odds of getting to the closing table.
