Terms to consider when making an offer.

• Sales price.
• Earnest money-this protects the sellers from the possibility of your unexpectedly pulling of the deal and makes a statement about the seriousness of your offer.
• Contingencies: Home inspection, Financing, Appraisal, Home Sale, etc.
• Conveyances-the items that stay with the house when the sellers leave.
• Closing costs-it’s standard for buyers to pay their closing costs, but if you want to roll the costs into the loan, you need to write that into the contract.
• Home warranty-this covers repairs or replacement of appliances and major systems. You may ask the seller to pay for this.
• Settlement date.
