Writing To WIN!

It’s true. The market remains a "challenge" for buyers at all price points, and yet the market ebbs and flows each month, each week, each day. So, can serious buyers still secure superior properties as they compete in the multiple offer madness? Absolutely! I always like to discuss and analyze the unique buying power of each of my clients, and every situation is different. Overall, we want to write the cleanest offer possible. We write to win! So what does "clean" look like in today’s market? Here are just a few things we discuss:

• Money talks! Many homes are selling over list price, so be prepared to put your best foot forward. If you have cash to cover an appraisal gap and a large down payment, you look even better to sellers, and just may have a leg up on your competition. 
• Home to sell? Let’s find a way for you to be non-contingent. Creative financing options exist and you don’t know until you explore every option. Let’s chat! 
• Inspection Contingency? Some buyers are forgoing this contingency, which sellers love. Other buyers choose to do a “Peace of Mind" inspection or they write a clause stating that they will not be asking for repairs.
• Flexible close date? Excellent! Sellers are often suggesting their preferred closing timeframe and if you can work around that, you just might win!

This is just a sampling of what our buyers are writing in order to win. If you are wondering what you can do to win in this market and need help planning for success, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to help!
