How Can Sellers Reduce Risk in a Real Estate Transaction?
With more inventory, buyers have options and greater leverage in negotiations. It’s an open secret that the Colorado Contract to Buy and Sell also strongly favors Buyers, giving them broad rights to terminate the deal. What can sellers do to minimize the cost (lost time, tainted listings) from buyers who flake out, get cold feet, or otherwise abruptly pull out of a transaction due to no fault of the property or seller?
The House Einstein Podcast is available wherever you podcast. Hosted by Osman Parvez and Hamish Crabb.
Intro: “Last month, we had almost 14% of all contracts fall apart, which is very unusual. Last time we saw it was right on the heels of COVID. People got scared, but then the market came back by storm.” – Barbara Corcoran.
