Prepare Before a Buyer Is Waiting
Many FSBO problems begin before the contract. Documents may not be organized, ownership issues may not be identified, permits may not be checked, or important sale terms may not be considered until a buyer is already expecting the transaction to move forward.
This checklist helps you work through those issues before the transaction becomes time-sensitive.
Organize the Property Records
Identify the deed, mortgage information, title documents, surveys, tax records, association documents, permits, repair records, and other documents that may matter during the sale.
Identify Problems Early
Review municipal records, property condition, open permits, violations, disclosure issues, ownership questions, and other matters that may take time to address.
Prepare for Pricing and Offers
Think through your asking price, likely net proceeds, marketing method, buyer qualification, and the business terms you will need to evaluate once offers arrive.
Prepare for the Legal Handoff
Know what information to gather so your attorney can begin contract preparation efficiently once you identify a buyer.
What Is Included in the Checklist?
The checklist walks through ten areas a New Jersey owner should consider while preparing for a FSBO sale.
Also Included: Attorney Handoff Package
Once you find a buyer, the checklist includes a separate Attorney Handoff Package to help you organize the information your attorney may need to begin preparing the transaction.
It covers items such as the purchase price, deposit, financing, inspection and appraisal terms, proposed closing date, inclusions and exclusions, seller disclosures, ownership documents, and relevant municipal and property records.
