• Sellers want all cash at settlement, and Buyers expect favorable terms on Seller financing of a portion of the selling price.

  • Sellers should be prepared to evaluate an offer that calls for seller financing. They should also be confident they are getting best value on an all-cash offer.

  • Mid America Business Brokers, Inc.'s Preparation to Sell Process occurs prior to signing a listing agreement and includes:

    • Assisting Seller in determining cash-at-settlement-needs based on debt satisfaction and assumption, lease/purchase contract obligations, Seller's personal goals, etc.

    • Educating the Seller to this concept:

      • PRICE is WHAT is Paid

      • VALUE is HOW it is Paid

    • Insistence on an all-cash sale can limit the Seller's options in maximizing the selling price. It is likely to decrease the selling price.

    • "Conditions" scenarios are structured to help the Seller analyze the risk/reward factors of a potential offer.
