Common Client Question: Hey Fernando, now that we have an accepted offer what is the next step? My Banker wants the signed accepted offer!

Good morning, Eric. 

In Manhattan, there’s no signed offer. 

The deal-related docs (with the terms of the offer and Condo docs) were sent to both seller’s and your attorneys. 

The seller’s attorney will prepare the first draft of the contract and send it to your attorney (Steve Ebbin & Diana Umansky). 

Meanwhile, Steve & Diana will start the due diligence work, looking through the Condo’s offering plan, financials, etc., to make sure there are no major issues, pending litigation, and/or anything else that could be a potential risk for you as a new owner. 

Steve & Diana will also negotiate clauses in the contract to protect your (buyer's) interests. 

Once Steve & Diana finish their due diligence work and the contract negotiations, they will present you their findings and give you the negotiated contract for you to sign (likely Electronically) since you’re not in NYC. 

At that point, you will make your deposit (likely via a wire) of 10% of the purchase price. 

The signed contract (by you) with your deposit will be sent to the seller’s attorney.  

The contract deposit money goes to the seller’s attorney’s escrow account and the contract goes to the sellers so they can countersign it. 

The fully signed contract (fully executed) is then sent back to Steve & Diana and myself. 

That is the only signed and legally binding document for the sale prior to the closing docs you will sign on the closing day. 

Does that make sense?  😊

Anne Eisenhower Finds Buyer for Her $35M Southampton Estate

Image
Claverack, the  $35 million  Southampton estate belonging to  Anne Eisenhower (yes, like the president!) has finally found a buyer. Sotheby's Harald Grant, who's listed the property for years now, "confirmed" to the  WSJ  "that the three-story house ... was in contract and due to close before the end of the year." Sadly, Grant stayed mum about the price, but most brokers still think it'll rank as one of the top sales of the year. And seeing how Eisenhower paid  only $5 million  for the place in the '90s, she stands to profit no matter what. In other news, if all this talk about Eisenhower has left you wanting more history, take a look at  this post , which shows how Claverack has changed over the years by Ian Ratner,Curbed ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A historic 19th-century Southampton mansion owned by Anne Eisenhower, a grandda
