FORMS & CONTRACTS

Buyer Agent Checklist

CARE Contract

Are you looking to buy your first home and it happens to be a short sale? CARE works with the banks to get the best price so that you can purchase at a fair market value.

What is the advantage of buying a short sale?
  • Purchase below market value & have instant equity!
  • CARE will work to get additional closing credits paid at closing!
What should you be aware of when buying a short sale home?
  • When submitting an offer the banks will either accept or counter the offer.
  • Buying "AS-IS" - if property has major repairs, submit an estimate of repairs.
  • If your offer is below market value and we are disputing value? You will need to provide comps, estimate of repairs and sometimes an appraisal. The seller can opt to NOT sign the agreement of sale, but you will have first right of refusal. this will be submitted to the banks, but not signed by the seller until banks state they need this done.
