DD and her fiance but a binder on a house. I can't believe it is happening. My going to open houses Saturday found the house and they loved it after I told them I found their house. Keeping my fingers crossed that the rest goes smoothly. They offered the asking price but someone offered more and then they had to counteroffer. But, the owners liked them and want them to have the house. We are all clueless on what to do since other kids used real estate agents. This was a sale by owner. The lawyer has been hired and an inspector is going to be called. The house is in such fantastic shape I doubt anything wrong will be found with it. It is move in condition.


I am still trying to get over the fact that they are going to pay 378K for a house when we paid 20K for our house. (It was 36 years ago...LOL!) Houses are outrageous here in NY, especially LI.


Another super thing...they will be only 5 miles away. I will have both DDs close by. This is good!!

Your dd does not have to pay the broker. That is the sellers responsiblity. Now once they make an offer and its accepted they can go to contract. Most contacts have a clause in them that refers to the home inspection, termite inspection, and so on. Does your dd have an attorney yet that they have dealt with? They want someone who is good and will look out for them.
