Read the debt terms
We review payoff or assumption, prepayment costs, lender consent and any release conditions that affect timing or net proceeds.

Terms and certaintyThe assignment
What is the offer actually worth?
Owners receive proceeds at closing. We examine the steps between an offer and that closing, including debt, equity approvals, due diligence and the cost of delay.
CO / FIELD NOTES05Illustrative scenario
A higher price, with another approval still to come.
One buyer proposes a higher price subject to a capital partner’s approval. Another names a lower price, identifies its equity and offers an earlier nonrefundable deposit. The owner has a loan payment date approaching.
Cedar Oak’s view
We set out the expected proceeds, cash required to carry the property and remaining decisions for each path. The owner can see what the extra price asks them to risk.
What we examine.
Find the decision makers
We ask who controls the equity, who must approve a sale, and which decisions have already been made on each side.
Trace the closing calendar
We put diligence, deposit changes, financing deadlines and extensions on one schedule and flag where an unanswered question could delay closing.
