Showings are by appointment and with reasonable notice. When an offer arrives, most negotiations are conducted in writing. The agreement is prepared by the agent you are working with and is accompanied by a deposit delivered to the listing broker. When the terms are agreed, the contracts are signed and the deposit is held in escrow.
All terms are negotiable. Common items include mortgage contingencies, wood-destroying insect inspections, radon inspections, and structural or mechanical inspections. From the signed agreement to settlement is commonly 45 to 90 days.
After you accept an Agreement of Sale, Duffy Real Estate continues to act on your behalf, and an authorized representative can be present at settlement.
