Determining Price

Before ever putting pen to paper on a contract we will need to find out what the property is worth to you. Fort Lauderdale Real Estate can mean a wide variety of things from Waterfront, Canalfront, Oceanfront, to Condo's and Townhomes in and around the greater Ft. Lauderdale area.

Market conditions and the condition of the property itself play a big role in what you will offer to be sure, but you will also need to know what other properties sold for in the area that are similar to the one you are interested in.

We will gather that information for you and help you come to a fair and reasonable price for the property.

Deposits & Downpayments

When you write a contract it is always advisable to include what is refered to as an Earnest Money Deposit with your offer.

Simply stated this will give your offer more crediblity with the seller than if one was not present. The larger the deposit also makes the offer stronger in the sellers eyes and possibly sway him to accept the offer as it stands.

This money is deposited in a non-interest bearing account by the Real Estate company and should your offer be accepted it is then applied towards your total down payment on the property.
