Local Experts

Having been in real estate for many years, our team is a seasoned staff of real estate professionals with a wide breadth of knowledge and experience.

Once you have selected the perfect Peoria home of your dreams and submitted your offer, the negotiation process begins.

Negotiating Points

As your buyers representative we negotiate the following items:
• Purchase price
• Earnest money
• Contingency clauses
• Inspections
• The closing date
• The possession date
• Non-fixture items that you would like to remain with the property

The owner is not aware that the property has mechanical or structural defects, such as a faulty air-conditioning system or leaky roof.

The seller guarantees the property is not in a flood plain.

The seller guarantees that the property title is free and clear of any title defects that have not already been mentioned by providing a warranty deed. A warranty deed does not guarantee the soundness of the structure or mechanical systems.

Additional Tips

When in the negotiating process, we recommend you watch what you say in the presence of a seller or the seller’s agent. Everything you say can, and will, be used in the bargaining process. If your offer is lower than the listing price, never let the seller’s real estate agent know you are willing to pay more. Never indicate what motivates you to make your purchase. This could have a negative impact on the negotiating process. Never feel pressured into raising your price on the spot when negotiating price.

Remember these final points. We will help you negotiate the purchase of your home based on your terms and price. In reality, expect to make compromises. Don’t be afraid to ask us questions. It is the desire of every member of THE KNELL GROUP to help you buy your next Peoria home with confidence and the knowledge you have made the best decision possible.

Now would be a great time to search for homes.
