what is the difference between "pending" and "Option Pending"?

Option Pending means that the transaction is still within the Option Period. During the Option Period, the buyer has the right to terminate the contract for any reason. During this period, the buyer usually has inspections done on the house and negotiates repairs (if any) for items noted on the inspection report. The length of the Option Period is negotiable, but it is usually 10 days long. And, the Option Period can be extended if both the buyer and seller agree to an extension. Once the Option Period ends, the status of the listing changes to Pending.

HOW LONG WILL A LISTING STAY IN OPTION PENDING

The option period is negotiable between the buyer and seller. Most of the time, they are 10 days (calendar days) long. However, the option period can be extended if they buyer and seller agree to an extension. This sometimes happens if the parties are negotiating repairs and they need more time to get estimates for those repairs.

Effective Negotiation Client Advocacy Market Knowledge Communication Skills Ethical Practice Strategic Marketing Customer Satisfaction Focus Transaction Management Problem Solving Skills Adaptability

I see myself, not as a salesperson, but as your representative during the home buying or selling process. My job is to look out for your best interests by:

Being your advocate during the entire process

Negotiating on your behalf as if I were doing so for myself

Guiding you through the numerous steps involved in the transaction, keeping you informed throughout

When representing a buyer, my goal is not necessarily to sell you a house, but to make sure that you are happy enough in the end to recommend me to others. When representing a seller, my goal is to present your home in the best possible light and to use various proven methods to market your home to the public and realtor® community in order to sell your home in the shortest time for the most money possible.
