Hey good afternoon everybody this is Chris Berger of bergerpoints.com — take a look check me out.<br /><br />I wanted to talk to you a little bit today about the Offer and Acceptance.<br /><br />What actually transpires between the two agents and how long it should take!<br /><br /><br /><br />Well, generally when an offer is made the seller’s agent will receive that offer and she or he generally has 24 hours to respond.<br /><br />I can look back on my own career — what happens is that within five or six hours you get some sort of feedback. <br /><br />Whether it’s a counter offer or they accept the offer or I’ll get back to you tomorrow. <br /><br />However, what happens next?<br /><br />Well, once that offer and acceptance has been agreed upon by both parties —-traditionally it’s up to the buyer to then come forth with their inspector —- within seven business days.<br /><br />Once my offer has been accepted, I really want to get on having an inspector there and get it done.<br /><br />So, five days later, three days later, whatever it happens to be, the inspector will go make the inspection.<br /><br />Also too, you can anticipate the inspection coming back to you within 24 hours.<br /><br />The inspectors generally go in with a computer or an ipad — they type everything up as they go, and they’re done at the end of the day, and they send it out to you.<br /><br />It’s pretty efficient.<br /><br />So, once that buyer gets that negotiating tactic or the background of the house, then you make your next step.<br /><br />So it’s either, okay, the inspector noticed that the oil burner is no good.<br /><br />Well, that’s a big one.<br /><br />So, then your agent should go back to the selling agent and say, listen, oil burner’s no good, replace it.<br /><br />Oil burner’s no good, we want $5,000 credit.<br /><br />Whatever it happens to be, whatever suits you.<br /><br />So, that’s the Berger Point for today.<br /><br />***<br /><br />I wanted to tell you, too, one of the best concerts I ever went to was the Righteous Brothers.<br /><br />Now, the Righteous Brothers have been around, of course, since the 60s, which I have too, but originally Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were the Righteous Brothers.<br /><br />Bobby Hatfield died in the early 2000s, and Bill Medley is now currently 82.<br /><br />However, his fill-in or his replacement the last 10, 12 years by the gentleman by the name of Bucky Hurd. <br /><br />He’s fantastic. Fantastic voice. He fits, he compliments Bill Medley very well.<br /><br />One of the nicest things that happened to me is that after the concert, I got a chance to talk to Bill Medley and his daughter, as well as Bucky Hurd, for at least five, six minutes.<br /><br />And just a thrill.<br /><br />So anyway, ask and you shall receive.<br /><br />So keep going.<br /><br />All right. Thanks for listening. We’ll catch you up with you soon.<br /><br />-----------------------<br /><br />Hello!
