With inventory diminishing daily and multiple offers being
extremely common, it is of great importance that you position yourself to
have the "Best Chance" to get your offer accepted. You enhance your chance
of getting the home of your choice by
doing the following:
Get pre-approved for the purchase:
This takes very little time and is of great value. At this time, identify
the price range for which you qualify and which fits your lifestyle.
Submit a strong competitive offer:
Submit the offer as if there will be multiple offers.
Include substantial earnest money deposit:
Acceptance of an offer is sometimes determined by the amount of
the deposit. A larger amount may signify a bigger commitment
to the seller.
Minimize or eliminate contingencies:
The fewer contingencies, the stronger the offer.
Make a buyer profile available:
Time on the job, flexibility, reason for purchasing seller's home, etc.
Be prepared to preview a new property quickly:
Homes sell sometimes in hours. Be prepared to make decisions quickly
and be accessible to change the terms instantly.
Buyer and agent to have instant communication access:
Let us maintain instant access to each other via office phone, voice
mail, fax, pager or cellular phone.
