To sell a home with several owners, every owner named on the title deed normally needs to agree and sign. Disagreement that surfaces after an offer arrives can stall the process or lose the buyer. Spouses, siblings who own a home together and friends who bought as partners all face the same question: what exactly are the owners agreeing to? Before listing, agree in writing the asking price, the lowest price you would accept together, who speaks to the agent and how you will decide on offers, for example by message within 2 days. Example: two siblings, one in Abu Dhabi and one abroad, name the local sibling as the agent's single contact. One voice and an agreed process keep offers moving. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
