Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options to see how you can best reach your goals with the sale of your Richmond house. While you may be able to get a higher sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your selling options.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at MISSION VA LLC, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
