Boston Real Estate for Sale

When you get an offer on your Beacon Hill condo for sale, how can you make sure the buyer is qualified to close on it?

Check Finances

It’s important to check their finances and make sure they’re pre-approved, but you also need to understand who that buyer is. Where do they live? What do they do for a living? What kind of person are they? Are they easygoing or will they be really nitpicky when it’s time to do the inspections?

Real Estate Deals That Fall Apart

When we look at deals that fall out of escrow, it’s usually because of some kind of discrepancy involved—especially in a competitive environment. When inventory is low, buyers are more apt to squeeze themselves into a Back Bay condo that doesn’t really fit them. In this case, there’s a much greater probability of them eventually realizing that they’re not buying the right house and canceling escrow.

We’d only have to worry about a buyer’s finances if that was the single reason deals fall apart, but they fall apart for lifestyle reasons too. This is why you need an downtown Boston real estate broker who knows how to probe these kinds of details: You’ll know what kind of negotiating leverage you’ll have in making sure the deal sticks.

When you get an offer, find out what your buyer’s background is and see whether your property is the right fit for them.

So when you get an offer, find out what your buyer’s background is and see whether your property is the right fit for them. Don’t be afraid to ask the kind of questions other sellers and agents are afraid to ask.

Bottom Line

The bottom line is that you need to accept an offer that will lead to a deal that will close—not one that will end up broken.
