Once you've decided to sell and have decided on your real estate agent, it's a good time to give instructions to your lawyer. Doing this early can speed up the sale of your property once the buyer has accepted your offer. You have been provided with a “decision of principle”, which means that your lender is prepared to consider your mortgage application for a set maximum amount. You can also have your lawyer prepared.
It's time to make an offer. Don't worry if your first offer isn't accepted; remember that both you and the seller are negotiating the best price.
