Testimonials

"Our family recently moved from Ohio to Boston because of job change. We spent a lot of on looking at homes at Lexington, Winchester and its surrounding towns, and we worked with several local real estate agents before we contacted Carlos. After we met with Carlos, we are convinced that Carlos is the most knowledgeable, the most diligent, the most honest and the best listener, and he was the person that we were looking for. He helped us to find our dream home in Lexington. We are more than happy to recommend his professional services." - T. Li & Y. Fang (Lexington)
"Carlos impressed my wife and me immediately with his professional demeanor and knowledge of the Lexington real estate market. He provided valuable advice and guidance through every step of the home-selling process. Before we needed to make a decision, he fully explained out options, and provided us with his recommendations. He was always professional, prompt and courteous, and his services really exceeded our expectations. We received 11 offers due to his marketing skills, and we would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to sell a property in Lexington." - P. Wang & J. Yu (Lexington)
"First time home buyers always have a lot of questions, and Carlos had a great patience to guide us through the process with assurance and confidence. He was unfailingly responsive and extremely professional from our first meeting through the closing. We were amazed that Carlos remembered every street with double lines and single line in Winchester. We recommend him without reservations." - S. & J. Grey (Winchester)
"We spent almost every single weekend to look open houses during 6 months before we purchased our home at Acton. When we asked Carlos to help us to give an offer for a house that we found from open houses, he immediately convinced us to not buy the house with his reasons. We really appreciate for his honest and his knowledge. With his help, we quickly found our dream home. Carlos will be our lifetime realtor and lifetime friend. We recommend him to everyone who wants to purchase a home in Acton." - S. Carboni & G. Guo (Acton)
"We recently moved from Burlington to Wellesley, and Carlos served us as our both seller agent and buyer agent. We were really impressed with Carlos' 'client first' philosophy. He always gave us a lot of opinions, and never pushed us to make a hasty decision. He had good communications, negotiation and interpersonal skills. He developed marketing strategies and promoted our house through a lot of media. We received several offers, and the selling price was much higher than our expectations. We immediately hired Carlos as our buyer's agent to purchase our new home in Wellesley." – H. Dong & Y. Meng (Burlington/Wellesley)
"We moved from China to Boston through our investment immigration. We had no friends in Boston, and we don't have any knowledge about the Boston real estate market. Carlos shared his insightful market analysis, which helped us to quickly make the decision about the house location. He was willing to spend extra time helping his customers. We enjoyed working with Carlos in our house hunting." - L. Peng (Weston)
"Carlos is an excellent agent and friend. He helped and educated us on every step of the buying process of our home in Wayland. His outstanding and rare combination of sales, marketing, negotiation and interpersonal skills really impressed us. His time commitment and dedication to his work turned out wonderful results and total customer satisfaction. We are really glad and fortunate to have worked with him and we recommend him to anyone who wants a result-driven agent." – C. Dai & H. Wu (Wayland)

They can be difficult to know exactly what to do when you receive a written offer for your home. After receiving a written offer from a potential buyer you can work with your real estate agent to find out whether or not the individual has prequalified for a mortgage to purchase your home. As long as the person has a preapproved mortgage you can then begin to review the proposed contract.

An offer may have a variety of different conditions as well as sections that you need to review before accepting it. If you fail to review certain conditions within an offer it could mean that you will be forced to move out early by contract or that you are unable to unlock value that is within your home. Over the course of your negotiation in the offer your real estate agent will help you to review the written offer and explain all of the conditions that have been outlined in the offer as well.

An offer will generally contain a description of the property as well as the price that the potential buyer has offered up for you. This price will include the down payment as well as the way that the potential buyer is going to pay for the down payment and the remaining sum of the finances. The fees for each real estate agent as well as for closing the deal are all listed in the offer as well. If there are any conditions such as a closing date, any appliances that the buyer would like, or any work that they would like to have done to the home before they move in, these can be added into the written offer as well.

After you have read over the offer and reviewed it you can then start the negotiation process by making a counter offer or simply accept the contract as is. If your home has been on the market for a long period, accepting the written offer could be a better move than generating a list of demands in a counter offer. If you really need to sell your home accepting the contract is probably the best way to get out quickly as there is always a chance that the potential buyer will reject your counteroffer.

Once you and the potential buyer have signed your written offer it becomes legally binding. There is no way to submit a counter offer once you have signed the paperwork so it is very important to consider each part of the document and bring up any questions that you have with your real estate agent.

Offers can sometimes take a while to hash out especially if there are conditions included with the offer as well. Things such as repairs, landscaping and painting as well is the move-in date are highly negotiable and should be hashed out at the time that the offer is signed.

By working with your real estate agent you can get a fair price for your home and also work your way through any written offers that you receive to make sure that you don’t end up accepting a bad offer.
