These costs, like lender fees, title fees, and attorney fees, are typically paid by the buyer but can also be negotiated to be paid by the seller. Pre-paids are expenses that are paid in advance at the time of closing to cover certain ongoing costs related to homeownership. These expenses, like property taxes or homeowners insurance, are typically prorated and paid upfront to ensure there are sufficient funds for these expenses.

Now that you’ve got your house listed, it’s time for your first showing. The first step is similar to preparing for listing photos and videos: you want to make sure everything’s clean. Make sure you declutter and get rid of as much as possible. Depending on your comfort level, you may also want to de-personalize your home. If you don’t want your children’s photos in your house, now’s the time to take them down. Make your house feel big by allowing as much light in as possible. Before the showing, make sure when you’re leaving your house that you have all the window blinds open and all the lights turned on.

The practice of seller financing goes by many names, including purchase-money mortgages and owner financing. But in its simplest terms, it describes a form of real estate lending transaction in which a property owner also serves as a mortgage lender. This unique situation in the home selling process eliminates the need for a financial institution to handle financing agreements and negotiations. While seller financing effectively sees a seller provide a buyer with direct financing, it comes with pros and cons attached, as does any nontraditional mortgage option. it’s important to do your research and consult with a qualified professional before entering into a seller financing agreement.
