A lot of home buyers think that the highest offer wins. But the truth is, the highest offer is not always the best offer, and without making your offer the best, it’s going to be overlooked. In today’s sellers’ market, too many buyers are left disappointed. Here are some tips to ensure that your offer will be put in first position. Think Like a Seller to Craft the Best Offer Each seller has specific needs, and they’re listing their home to meet those needs. It’s important t...o find out about their individual priorities in order to make the best offer and appeal directly to the seller. Not every seller is looking for the highest price offer, and it’s crucial to consider what else they are after. Here are a few examples: - The rent-back seller. Some sellers are in love with the home and aren’t ready to leave, but still need to sell. These sellers would rather sell to a lower-bidding investor who can rent back to them. They won’t get as much money out of the deal, but it’s the lifestyle that they favor. - The cash-out seller. This seller is looking to cut his losses immediately, and cash out the equity in their home. They are looking for a high-price offer and a buyer that can close quickly. A cash offer may be this seller’s dream-come-true. - The bank-seller. When an REO (Real Estate Owned) property is on the market, at the end of the day, the bank is accepting the offer. They are looking at price, but also at terms of the contract. A lower offer with no contingencies (like a home inspection) is much more appealing to the bank than a higher offer that depends on inspection results. Be a Better Buyer It’s important to be as prepared and as in-tune with the home buying process as possible. Be sure to get pre-approved early on, and have a strong idea of what you’re looking for in your next home. That way you’ll know right away when you find a good property, and you’ll be able to act quickly. The next step is to find a suitable agent to help you through the home buying process. Utilize a Smart Agent In order to create a solid offer, you’ll need to understand what’s important to the seller. For this, rely on an informed agent to guide you through the offer writing. Choose a local agent who works full-time, in order to ensure that he or she is the most knowledgeable about the market, and has the most access to properties across your area.
