Neighbor is selling and I want my daughter to buy it

Have your daughter contact the neighbor directly before they list with an agent to explore a private sale. Here in Ridge Manor, we see these neighbor-to-neighbor deals save both parties thousands in commissions while creating smoother transactions. Get a comparative market analysis done first to establish fair pricing for negotiations. Professional guidance protects both families even in friendly deals.

Hi Joseph, Keep it simple and clean: Agree on a fair market price (get a CMA from your local area real estate agent or an appraisal). Use a real estate agent or attorney to handle paperwork and protect both sides. Write a formal purchase agreement (even though it’s friendly). Do inspections, disclosures, and escrow just like a normal sale. Consider an appraisal contingency so your daughter doesn’t overpay. This keeps it fair for your neighbor and protects your daughter legally and financially.

Keep it simple: Get a real value (comps or appraisal) Write a formal offer with contingencies Make sure your daughter is pre-approved Agree on fair pricing (maybe slight discount for convenience) Goal: clean deal, no hard feelings later.
