What does a "Kick Out Clause" mean for your buyers and sellers?

FROM THE LEGAL HOTLINE: By MAR Legal Counsel Linda Gifford

Portland Maine Real Estate



Kick out Clause.  Members have seemed surprised recently to discover that once their buyer puts their home under contract, in a situation where the buyer has a "subject to sale" addendum and then a kick out clause, that the kick out clause is still in full force and effect. The fact that their first home goes under contract does not negate the kick out clause.  And if the seller then gets another offer which is acceptable to them, the seller can exercise the kick out clause, and unless the buyer can get a letter from a bank stating that they can purchase without the sale of their prior property actually closing, they can still lose the new property.  The only remedy is for the buyer to negotiate an addendum to the contract once they put their property under contract which would void the kick out clause, if the seller is willing to take the risk that the other property will actually close.

Why Choose Chad Latham, Keller Williams Realty, Portland, Maine as your next real estate agent?



It is a fact that well over 90% of today's home buyers now start their home search on the Internet. Statistically, when prospective buyers view these homes you have about 15 seconds to grab their attention as they “rifle through” the various listings competing with your property. I have spent the past six years studying real estate internet sales because I knew that, like it or not, it was going to become the way of the future. Although the majority of  real estate companies provide an excellent program for syndicating  listings out to large real estate websites such as Relator.com, Trulia and Zillow, they only provide the vehicle to get them there… Not the content.  The content is left up to the individual agents. And while there are many “excellent” real estate agents available today, there are very few who have actually mastered the requirements of today’s Internet in such a way that a listing will stand out among it’s competition and also provide a memorable shopping experience for a prospective buyer. The days of  just simply posting a few beautiful photographs will no longer attract the majority of today’s  buyer prospects.

In January of this year I formed my own group at Keller Williams Realty and as of April 15th, 2014 I have over 10 million dollars of listing inventory. The Maine Real Estate Marketing Group  is completely based upon providing the most innovative shopping experience a prospective home buyer can possibly find on the Internet, both nationally and locally. They will not only spend time viewing the vast amount of property information that I provide up-front, but they will also view many other important aspects that are generally left out of a listing. 

Please consider investing an hour of your time to interview an agent that takes a very different approach to real estate marketing...  Chad Latham (207) 467-5127
