- So, keeping the contract intact is not necessarily easy, unless you’ve chosen the VERY TOP seller agent
- A seller agent who knows how to be your advocate in every aspect of the Colorado sales contract that has in it, 25+ ways to terminate the contract
- Make sure that the seller agent you pick, and you want to go to work with you, knows how to protect you and your sales
- If you do not have THAT agent, you’re going to be one of those many buyers whose real estate contracts fall through
Your seller agent needs to tell upfront how to deal with 25 legal ways a contract can be terminated
Can real estate contracts be altered?
- Real estate contracts can be altered by preparing the contract correctly with the agent
- Ask the agent you’re working with to point out the 25+ ways that buyers can get out of the contract
