Selling a Real Property
Selling a Real Property is currently a
frustrating process due to our being in a Buyer's market. Homes are
sitting on the market for longer than before, but once a Buyer is found, and a
contract is negotiated, Real Estate Attorney Ingrid
Santamaria will make the transaction easy.
Currently, the
most difficult part of selling a home is getting a buyer interested in the
home. It is not a bad idea to stage the property to make it more ideal to
buyers. Easy changes, such as de-cluttering, painting in neutral colors,
getting rid of personal effects and pictures, and nice landscaping will attract
buyers to the home and allow them to picture themselves living
there.
Once the buyer is interested, the most important thing for the
seller is to negotiate the terms of the contract to his or her benefit.
With the help of Attorney Ingrid Santamaria, the negotiation and drafting of the
Contract will be handled with expertise and will be as favorable to the seller
as possible. Once the contract has been signed by both parties, the
seller's main objective is to provide equitable title, meaning that Attorney
Ingrid Santamaria will do a thorough title search to ensure that there are no
clouds on title, and if there happen to be any title defects, that these be
cured so that that title may be transferred to the buyer free of any
defects.
At closing, the Seller will usually receive his or her proceeds
from the sale of the property after signing over the deed to the property and
any outstanding mortgages or liens against the property in the seller's name
shall be paid off from the proceeds. The Seller does not need to worry
about a thing, Attorney Ingrid Santamaria will handle
everything.
