I plan on a telephone conversation to make my offer & mention the contingencies I require, then, if accepted, following up with a Letter of Intent that puts in writing the details (including the subsidies he's offered and the good faith deposit I'll provide along with a signed/accepted P&S Agreement).Finally, as you suggest, I'll try to get a referral to a R.E. attorney.Thank you SO MUCH for all your help!

Provide us a little more detail and you will get a better answer.Best of luck!

Do you have his details - I guess googling him will bring him up.

Simple question to ask but you know all the details, and as of this morning when I checked my crystal ball was still not working so I only know you are having a double closing.
