If you're looking to buy or sell a home, you may hear some terms you're not familiar with. It can add some confusion to an already stressful process. Never hesitate to ask your Realtor to clarify a term or phrase you don't understand. Let's talk about a few of those now:

BUYER'S AGENT: A licensed Realtor who will guide the buyer through the home-buying process. They find properties to tour, negotiate the offer, recommend other professionals (like inspectors, lender or movers) and help overcome setbacks in order to get the buyer to the closing table.

SELLER'S AGENT: Also known as the listing agent, this is a licensed Realtor who markets a seller's home for sale.They help the seller determine a price, give advice on what improvements to make to the property prior to listing, market the home to potential buyers and guide the seller through all the steps that need to be completed to close the sale.

OFFER/COUNTER OFFER: In Ohio, all offers to purchase must be in writing and signed by the buyer and seller in order to be binding. Verbal offers are not binding. The seller can accept, reject or counter an offer. If an offer is accepted, there is a legal contract between the buyer and seller. If the offer is countered, it means the buyer's offer was rejected and replaced with another one. The buyer can then accept, reject or make another offer.

EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT: A deposit made by the buyer at the time an offer is made. While it is not required, it indicates to the seller how serious you are about buying the property. It is applied to the purchase price of the property.

CLOSING COSTS: The buyer typically pays any costs relating to their loan (origination fees, appraisal, credit report, first year homeowner's insurance) and the seller pays the real estate commission and the fees to transfer the property. Sometimes buyers ask the sellers to pay their closing costs as part of their offer so they'll have less out-of-pocket. The seller may agree to this is the offer is a good one.

INSPECTION CONTINGENCY: A clause in the purchase agreement that grants the buyer a predetermined amount of time to perform necessary inspections.
