Although we're not seeing as many multiple offer situations as
we were a couple months ago, they are still fairly common. So today, I
want to discuss how to make your offer more attractive.
First of all, always make sure you have your pre-approval
letter. We have great contacts
with loan officers, and we can certainly get you in touch with them.
Cash is always king, but if you can't pay cash, a conventional
offer is the second most desirable in the seller's eyes, especially when you're
putting 20% down.
A
lot of buyers want to start with a low offer and negotiate their way up, but
you really can't do that in a bidding war. Skip the lowball offers, and put your
best foot forward.
Finally, keep
contingencies to a minimum. Some
things, like home inspections, are common, and you can keep that sort of
contingency. However, if you're in a bidding war, consider skipping the radon
inspection. That's
something you can do later on your own time, and it will make your offer look
cleaner.
If
you have any questions, give me a call or send me an email. Each multiple offer
situation is different, and we'd be happy to find the strategy that works best
for you.
