POV: You win the bidding war without offering the highest price

This is what sellers are also on the hunt for in an offer...

Time

The ability to close quickly, say within 2 weeks, can give you a leg up against other offers. This involves securing a lender who can underwrite you in advance, showing the sellers you’re committed.

Terms

From escalation clauses and appraisal gap coverage to proposing an “as-is” purchase, there are a few terms that the seller will find enticing. This is why your agent should always reach out to the seller’s agent to understand their clients' motivations.

Price

Don’t get me wrong, the offer price you submit will need to be in the ballpark of other offers.
Your agent should run comps and review market conditions before submitting your offer to ensure you’re as close as possible.

Have questions about writing a strong offer? Comment the word "OFFER" below and I'll send you a direct link to my calendar to schedule!
