If you are trying to buy a home right now you KNOW how competitive the market is. It’s not fun losing out on every home you want to purchase. So how do you get your offer aceepted?

STEP 1

You’ll want to start the process earlier than you think. It’s so important to make sure you have in depth knowledge of the current market and a good grasp on what you can realistically afford (monthly) so you can start the process confidently and on the right foot.

STEP 2

Schedule a buyer consultation before you think you’re ready. There’s a lot to learn and you’ll want to be prepared so you’re ready to go instead of being overwhelmed once you begin the process.

STEP 3

Be patient! I know this is a hard one, it sure is for me. But you have to have patience. Expecting an agent to find you a house and get you under contract quickly might not be possible or realistic in this market although I will do everything in my abilities to get you there. Set your expectations accordingly and talk to your agent about what is realistic.

STEP 4

Be strategic when writing your offer. The highest price doesn’t necessarily equate to the winning offer. Position yourself in the best place possible to have that competitive edge (i.e. work with a reputable local lender and an agent who is easy to work with. Follow their advice!)

STEP 5

Have all your ducks in a row and be ready to write a competitive offer. This isn’t a market where you can low ball an offer, see what the seller will do, take your time, and have multiple showings. You need to move quickly and be confident in your decisions!

If you’re ready to get the ball rolling, don’t hesitate to reach out to you. I’d love to help you find your dream property!
