This fee covers all other services from us including underwriting, appraisal, legal, wire transfers, etc.

Creative ApproachesIf the organization is hesitant about a sale, consider proposing creative terms:Seller Financing: The non-profit could retain an income stream from the property by financing the purchase.Partnership or Lease-Purchase Agreement: Offer to lease the property with an option to buy, giving them time to evaluate the relationship.Donation or Support: Consider including a donation or offering support for their mission as part of the deal.
