In this market, buyers are constantly competing for their dream home, but how can you make your offer stand out above the rest? I have Three tips to help you do just that.
Hi, I'm Stephanie Martenzi, Supermom, Superagent with Southland Properties and I have helped many buyers get into their dream home. So I know how scary and exciting that can be. It's my job to help you get your dream home. And here are a few tips to help you stand out from the crowd.
Number one, make sure you've offered a competitive price on the home. In this market, there are sure to be plenty of offers being put on the same house you want. Don't hold out too much or you may find yourself losing on that home. Number two, put down a larger earnest money deposit. It shows that you are serious and also tells the seller that you are more likely qualified to purchase. But be sure not to remove your loan
or your appraisal contingencies until you are absolutely certain that you are fully approved to purchase the home and that the underwriter has given you the full approval. Otherwise, you could stand to lose that deposit.
What if you don't have enough money for a larger down payment? Well, maybe you can remove some of your contingencies. For example, maybe you've seen the inspection report already and you know that the house is in great shape. You could remove the inspection contingency, or if you've been through the entire approval process and you have DU approval, then you can remove your loan contingency so that your offer looks strong. Of course, you only wanna do this after discussing with your lender.
Number three, let the seller know that you have not written offers on any other properties and that you've verified the taxes and taken them into consideration in regards to your payment. Let them know that you are going to be as reasonable as possible in regards to repairs and requests once you go into escrow.
Make sure your agent is in constant contact with their agent, helping to make you as a buyer stand out in the eyes of the listing agent. Believe it or not, that communication with the listing agent can seal the deal. There are so many more tips that I can show you. Give me a call and let me assist you in getting your dream home.
