Скачать или смотреть Writing an Offer in Maryland | Price, Terms, and Negotiation Basics

Once you’ve found the right home, the next step is writing an offer. In this video, we walk through how offers work in Maryland and what buyers should understand about price, terms, and negotiations before submitting one.

An offer isn’t just about the purchase price. The terms you include—and how they’re structured—can affect whether your offer is accepted, how negotiations unfold, and how smoothly the rest of the transaction goes.

In this video, we cover:
The main components of a Maryland purchase offer
Price vs. terms and why both matter
Common contingencies and timelines
How negotiations typically work
What happens after an offer is submitted
Common offer mistakes buyers make

This video is part of my Maryland Home Buying Process series. Each step builds on the last, so I recommend watching the playlist in order—starting with the overview—before moving on to inspections and the contract-to-closing phase.

I’m John Barczak, a REALTOR® with Integrity Real Estate, based in Harford County, Maryland. My goal is to help buyers understand the process, make informed decisions, and avoid surprises during negotiations.
