lol, my son is taking the test within the next three weeks too. In any event I'm a qualifying broker from New Mexico and a former real estate instructor in NM. I can't tell you what amendment or addendum can not be added in an exclusive right to sell in North Carolina so for North Carolina here is the link, in case you don't have it, so you can find your answer.\nReal Estate License Law, Rules & Regulations http://www.ncrec.state.nc.us/rules/rules.html \nLet me be the first to congratulate you in the aniticipated passing of your state and national exams.\nBuena Suerte

Probably you may want to list it on the Web.\n\nIf it is not a one-shot situation: as in you are renting-out units, consider building your own site. A resource for this  is: http://selling-a-service.first411.com\n\nSorry - but you need to be more specific in your question so i took the liberty of sharing 2 possible options.\n\nHope this helps you. Good Luck!

This has been a good question for a long time. A verbal contract is binding (If both sides agree what was said) so I cannot see why this is not true in house buying. \nIt is in Scotland so it should be the same in England too.\n\nWhat it needs is for someone who suffers financial loss (through someone offering and then pulling out, or someone not selling after accepting an offer) to take it as a test case to the courts. Or the European courts. \n\nIt is totally wrong that they English system allows it to happen. The system should allow us to sue the pants off the person responsible for making the deal fall through. \n\nI think the solicitors and legal teams are a bunch of leeches too, by the way. The British conveyancing system sucks. Big time.\n\nHope that helps and good luck!

You can set up any sort of agreement with the buyer that you and the buyer agree to.\n\nIt is, in fact, fairly common to have a provision that the seller will remain in possession until the happening of a certain event (such as close of escrow on the property the seller is buying) or a date certain.  It is a subject for negotiation whether the seller will or will not pay rent or reduce the final price of the property for the time the seller remains. \n\nIf you know that you will be moving to Malaysia on a certain date, just include in your instructions to your broker and make sure escrow instructions include that you will remain in possession of the property, and/or title will not change hands, until a specific date.  Just in case there are unexpected glitches, I'd make that date at least two weeks after you plan to be gone; you can always tell the buyer he/she/they can move in earlier.

The laws are clear on this issue; minors cannot sign legally binding contracts.  If its a matter of income, you're broker should be able to help.  If you went directly with the bank, they'll just throw you a list of requirements w/o any help, so you're kinda stuck.  If its an ownership issue, anyone can be added or removed from title to prove proper ownership.  This is tricky because you don't want to lose a deal, feel free to contact me for further advice.

You had your sellers sign the counter?  That ties the house up.  If you get a better offer, you need to hurry up and withdraw your counter.  If you get another offer that's worth responding to, but not accepting, then you're in a pickle.\n\nI think they'll think on it a while, then sign it.

This really depends upon the state and the contract (assuming that is that by sale agreement you mean contract for sale).\n\nMost form contracts will have a specific date written in for the closing.  If not, they have provisions that would require a closing within 30 to 60 days of the effective date (date when contract was made).\n\nIf there are no provisions for a timeline, then you'd have to find out what your state laws regarding real estate contracts would say is a 'reasonable' amount of time to complete the transaction.\n\nHave to admit though, it sounds to me like if there is no dates or timeline listed any where, not even a blank that says, 'if blank closing to be within 30 days', you might not have a legitamate contract for sale.

Best scenario would be to consult with a legal professional on what's appropriate for your business needs.\nBut you can look at some legal docs online you might find useful... Just make sure you both agree to the terms.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2006-20,GGLG:en&q=legal+document+contract

They should start looking before.\n\nThe seller can include in their P&S (Purchase & Sales Agreement) with the buyer, a contigency that states their contract is dependent upon their ability to find a new home. It usually includes some type of time limit 30-90days is common depending on the buyers ability to be flexible.\n\nIf you are performing a For Sale By Owner, you'll need to study up on this some more in general in regards to purchase and sales agreements, if you are working with a Realtor, they should be able to assist you with this easily.

Sure, in a lease option it's called an option payment, in your case it's probably a non refundable contract fee or earnest money that would be credited to you when you complete the sale..\n\nSomething like that would be common.\n\nGood luck

Just about and contract can be legally binding.  IN the contract, it must state the names of the parties involved, what they are aggreeing to do, and the terms upon which the contract can be void.  Also, if you want to get serious about it, you could have it notorized.

Can't speak for Oregon, but in Michigan once you've signed the papers it's a done deal.  If you think the sellers took advantage of you, talk to a lawyer (many lawyers advertise in the Yellow Pages and give free initial consultations).  There may be a chance to get out of the sale, but the lawyer would have to review your closing paperwork, the inspection/appraisal, etc., and would have to show a material omission or misrepresentation on the part of the seller, and that can be tough to prove.

Tell you agent that you would like to take it off the market. Offer to pay the expenses they have incurred. If they are a quality firm and agent they will let you go. They should realize that you will come back to them when you are ready. It should not be worth it to them to keep you in the contract. However, they are entitled to the commission if they bring you a buyer who meets all the requirements and you refuse to sell.\n\nNegotiate.

Here is the link to a contract that has a confidentiality clause: http://contracts.onecle.com/ninetowns/itownet.svc.2002.04.02.shtml\n\nAnd here is a confidentiality agreement:\nhttp://smallbizmanager.com/_promos/propage_ten_ta.htm

I don't know the section of the law, but last year I had to sign some legal papers pertaining to the sale of a house.  With my faxed signature, the process could proceed, but I had to mail the original to the attorney for it to be completely legal.  \n\nA real estate broker said that deals are done that way all the time.

If the contract is contingent on selling their current home, they can legally get out of the buying side of the contract (and keep their earnest money) if it does not sell.\n\nBecause their current home is under contract, get your agent to file a unilateral extension that keeps them under contract to the closing date (providing your state's laws allow this as mine does).  \n\nUltimately, it's up to the broker holding the earnest money to decide what happens to it should they back out.  Consult your agent's broker about the situation...you did sign the contract with the contingency, so don't get angry if the broker has a different opinion than you...

Once you've gone through the objection/rebuttal process (successfully), and you sincerely believe the product/service you're offering is something your prospect wants or needs, it's simple. I sell advertising, so here's what I say:\n\nSimply state: "Okay, did you have any other questions? No? Great! So then - as we discussed, I'll whip up the contract and email it right over. Does this sound good to you?"\n\nAND THEN BE SILENT! Let them say yes or no. Most importantly DON'T OVER-SELL!! You can talk yourself right out of the sale.\n\nIf you've done the objection/rebuttal process properly there should only be one answer. But - if somehow an objection wasn't taken care of - then you have to go back to the obj/rbtl process again until all objections are resolved. Then ask again.\n\nI've seen more "salespeople" fail because they're afraid to close. Don't be afraid! Be polite, courteous and kind. Lastly, if you get a “Not today, but maybe in X months” kind of answer, be sure to put them in your tickler and follow up. (I close more sales just by following up – you’d be surprised!)\n\nGood luck!
