Who holds the deposit when I make an offer
to purchase?
It is negotiable between you and the seller. Usually
the seller’s brokerage holds the deposit “in trust”
for you and the seller.
What is the difference between chattels and
fixtures?
Chattels are unattached goods that go with the
seller. Fixtures are attached goods that stay with the property. Any
chattels you want included must be written into the purchase contract
and agreed to by the seller.
Can I withdraw my offer before it is accepted?
In most cases, yes. But check with your REALTOR
or lawyer regarding the specifics of your offer.
Can I withdraw my offer after it is accepted?
In most cases, no. Again, check with your REALTOR
or lawyer regarding the specifics of your offer.
Do I have to use a lawyer?
It is highly recommended. If you are getting a
mortgage, your lender will probably require that a lawyer handle the
transaction.
