Pre-Acceptance Questions
Before accepting an offer, ask these critical questions:
- Can I see Proof of Funds? A bank statement or letter of credit dated recently.
- Are there inspection contingencies? A true "as-is" offer should verify condition *before* making the final offer, or have a very short inspection period.
- Who pays the closing costs? In a direct sale, the buyer often covers standard closing costs (transfer taxes are usually split or negotiated).
- What is the timeline? Ensure it matches your needs for moving out.
