How Do I Get My Real Estate Purchase Offer Accepted?
You found the perfect home, it fits your budget, and you’re ready to put in an offer the seller can’t refuse.
But it’s not as simple as offering a fair price. Low-interest rates and high demand for homes in some areas create a seller’s market. And with more competition among buyers, it’s common for sellers to get multiple offers at once.
So, how can you make your offer shine — without paying too much?
Your offer is more than the price.
Price matters, but sellers usually have other motivations too.
For some, a fast closing is a priority. Others have an emotional attachment to their home and want it left in good hands. And almost all sellers prefer a clear-cut agreement without the risk of delays.
Put yourself in the seller’s shoes and think about what they would want in an offer.
Besides price, an offer decides the closing date, financing terms, who pays for what, and other conditions that need to be satisfied before the final sale.
In this article, we’ll give you tips for making your offer stand out among the others. Read on to learn more about how to get your real estate purchase offer accepted!
