🏡 Thinking of accepting that flashy offer? Hold up. The highest number on line 1 isn’t always the best win for your wallet.
Here’s what I unpack with every San Antonio seller I represent: (1) Net proceeds change when you add credits or rate buydowns—even if the price stays put. (2) Earnest money (typically 1-2 % of price) shows commitment, while a $100–$500 option fee simply buys the buyer a 5–10-day escape window. Miss the 3-day delivery rule and the whole deal can default. (3) Contingencies—financing, appraisal, even a home-sale clause—decide whether we’re still under contract after inspection week. (4) Dates matter: a tight option period and a closing date that matches your timeline protect both your sanity and your equity. (5) A $20k seller credit often costs you LESS than a $20k price cut and keeps neighborhood comps high.
Want to see how an offer really stacks up? DM “OFFER” and I’ll break it down line by line so you can accept with confidence, not guesswork. ✉️
