From: Apprentice Millionaire
I am about to make offers for properties around my area (Melbourne). I remember reading somewhere that it is best to make written offers. So it prompted a few questions:
- is it really better to make a written offer?
- what are the advantages and disadvantages with respect to making a verbal offer?
- is there a format for making a written offer (as opposed to free format)?
- if a verbal offer is made, what must be said, and what words should one use?
- I know of conditions such as subject to finance, inspection, builders warranty insurance, but what other conditions does one add?
- does anyone have a handy template for written offers that I could peruse?
- does anyone have a script of how to make a verbal offer (for example to avoid being drawn in to giving too much details to the RE agent, or how to get the most details out of a RE agent)?
Thanks in advance for any information, opinion, advice, suggestion, recommendation, pointers, information.
Replies to this post might probably be candidates for the new FAQ forum.
