You MUST be Working with a licensed North Carolina Real Estate Agent – No Exceptions!
If you do not have an agent to represent you, we can recommend several that you can choose from. These agents will work ONLY on your behalf and only in your best interests, but they are also familiar with and understand this type of platform. Please contact us to let us know if you need us to refer a licensed agent to represent you.
A licensed Real Estate Agent must prepare all required documents (other than loan pre-approval) and initiate the process.
Once you have an agent representing you, our registration page will have you enter their contact information. Registration must be completed by the buyer. Our agents will contact them and review the online offers procedures.
Our agents are experts in this process and can guide you and your agent through the entire online offers process from beginning to end and answer all of your questions.
“Final Declared Winning Offer” – Being the highest offer on the site property page does not necessarily mean your offer is the final declared winning offer or that your offer is accepted. There are many factors that go into a seller accepting an online offer such as type of mortgage financing, down payment, amount of earnest money, closing date, home sale and other contingencies etc.
The listing agent will call all agents representing buyers who have placed competitively priced offers on a particular property on our platform to learn all the details of their offers. Only after the seller and seller’s agent discuss the terms of all the competitive offers submitted on the site will they determine who the “Final Declared Winning Offer” from all competitive registered buyers involved in the online sales event.
If Your offer is declared the “Final Winning Offer” by Seller or Seller’s Agent – If you are declared the final winning offer, you must have your agent submit a signed North Carolina Offer To Purchase Contract to the seller / seller’s real estate listing agent. The Due Diligence Deposit, and Earnest Money Deposit will be handled per- North Carolina Real Estate Commission Rules.
If you do not have an agent, please Contact Us as you must have a licensed agent perform this function and be registered on our site prior to your being able to place any offers on a property on our platform.
Seller(s) reserve the right to accept, negotiate or reject any or all offers submitted online.
What is the “Agent Compensation” – Using the ThisSoldHouseOnlineOffers.Com online offers platform, real estate commission is paid in whole or in part from what is called “Agent Compensation”. Agent Compensation can range from 1% to 12% of the “Final Declared Winning Offer” price accepted (this is not the Final Sales Price). The exact percentage amount of Agent Compensation can be different for each property offered on our platform so be sure to read the specific terms on the property page and MLS listing for the property you are interested in.
The FINAL SALES PRICE which will be shown on Line 1 of the Offer To Purchase Contract calculated in the following manner:
Agent Compensation Amount = Final Declared Winning Offer Price 3% Agent Compensation Percentage stated on Property Page (as well as in the MLS – the two will be identical)
Final Declared Winning Offer Price + Agent Compensation Amount = FINAL SALES PRICE.
The Agent Compensation is calculated using the highest final offer NOT based on the Total Purchase Price.
This is the MOST transparent way for a seller to offer the lowest price on their home and still compensate the real estate agents who conduct and close the transaction.
Each property listed on our platform site will offer different terms, conditions and Agent Compensation, so be sure to research the property you are interested in thoroughly along with all of the details on the property page.
Properties will be available for viewing by the general public ONLY on the day(s) specified on the property page of each specific property (unless agreed otherwise)
Seller(s) reserve the right to accept, negotiate or reject any or all offers submitted online.
An online offer is a binding agreement and a seller can legally pursue a non-performing buyer.
Be sure to contact us if you have question on the offers process.
Terms You Should Know:
WE SUGGEST YOU ALWAYS LOG INTO THE SITE 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE SCHEDULED ONLINE OFFERS EVENT ENDS TO SEE VIEW THE CURRENT OFFERS TO DETERMINE IF YOU WISH TO PLACE OR MODIFY YOUR OFFER(S).
Extension of Offers – Our system prevents last second unfair “Sniper Offers” by automatically extending the online offers event expiration time.
If a buyer places an offer within 3 minutes of the end of the online offers posted expiration time, the system will automatically extend and allow more offers to be placed for an additional 5 minutes in order to allow all registered buyers the opportunity to respond and will continue to operate like this until there are no more offers placed during any 5-minute extended time period.
Attention – Final Declared Winning Offer
If Your offer is Declared the Final Winning Offer: Our Seller’s Agent will contact your agent to discuss and finalize your offer and to determine the actual final sales price to be inserted into an NC Residential Purchase Contract. The Highest Offer on our site does NOT mean you have an accepted contract. Once we have discussed the terms of your offer and the seller accepts your offer, your agent MUST submit a signed purchase agreement to the seller within the time specified in “sale terms and conditions” (please see the posting details on the property page). If you do not have an agent, please Contact Us.
Notice to Final Declared Winning Offer: Important – If your offer is declared the final winning offer by seller and seller’s agent at the end of the online offer event (after seller and or seller’s agent discusses with you all other terms of your offer and your offer is accepted by same and you are then declared the “Final Winning Offer”) and if you then back out without submitting a contract, you will have been considered breaching our terms of use of our online offers submission system and you may be liable for a $500 withdrawal penalty fee. We will invoice you for that amount.
Seller(s) reserve the right to accept, negotiate or reject any or all offers submitted online.
