Once you find the home you want, you need to make an offer for the house. Typically this is a very difficult and trying time since both parties have totally different goals. In most cases it is better to have a third party, such as your buyers agent, negotiate the offer. If you have any personal interaction with the homeowner, don't give out any information about your move, your current housing status, financial status or your feelings about their property - positive or negative. This could hurt you in future negotiations.

Some of the items that need to be addressed in an offer are:
  • The proposed selling price (your offer).
  • A legal description of the property
  • Any concessions you desire the seller to make.
  • Any financing contingencies (for example, subject to you being able to obtain a satisfactory mortgage. You can go as far as to state maximum interest rates, specific terms, etc.)
  • Any home inspection contingencies (for example, subject to an acceptable whole house inspection report).
  • A clear definition of precisely what is to be included in the sale. Don't simply assume that items such as porch swings, fireplace doors and refrigerators are included. Doing so usually causes some unpleasant surprises on moving day. If there is any question, be specific!
  • The amount of earnest money (your deposit) that is being tendered with the offer.
