View a house on Tuesday, offer on Friday, it’s accepted on Monday — Fridge is included, but they replace the fridge with a cheap one on Saturday. Which fridge is included? The Utah state REPC stipulates which fridge you get!
0:49 – Announcement! We’re doing the HOT WINGS challenge, where we eat progressively hotter wings while we talk real estate. Stay tuned for date and episode!
1:37 – Aric’s story: buyers went walk through a house on a Tuesday, they thought about it for a few days, wrote an offer on Friday, Monday the offer is accepted. When as that contract BINDING?
2:52 – Contract is binding at acceptance, which is important if something changes between when the buyers walked through and the time an offer is accepted. Are the sellers wrong? Are they misleading? Legally no, ethically…maybe. The contract is binding from the time of acceptance until the time of settlement (not before acceptance).
5:05 – Aric’s section 11 story: buyers get property under contract with a fast close in a couple weeks. They walk through the home the night before settlement and find the “nice” fridge is missing. There’s a hole in the wall that wasn’t visible until the sellers moved furniture. The expensive window coverings were missing. That’s what the due diligence period is for!
7:43 – The buyers lost the nice fridge, per the terms of the contract. You can be completely legal, but be unethical. What do you think on the hole in the wall? The buyers that lost the curtains received over $2,000.
10:01 – AVOID CONFUSION, BE SPECIFIC. We don’t want the sellers offended, and we don’t want the buyers confused about what’s included.
11:09 – When do you do the final walkthrough? You have 7 days before closing. Have communication with the sellers. Make sure the sellers haven’t changed anything. Don’t kick out the long term renters. Short-term renters can be accepted during the contract, until the due diligence deadline.
13:11 – What’d we learn today?
14:59 – Bloopers
