My client had multiple offers. She wanted the biggest number β $15k over the next one. I said, "Let me make one call first."
That call saved her from a dead deal.
The highest offer came from a buyer who was "pre-qualified" β which basically means they filled out a form online. No pay stubs checked. No credit pulled. That deal fell apart fast.
Before you accept any offer on your home, make sure your agent is asking the right questions. Not all offers are created equal, and a higher price means nothing if it never makes it to closing.
A good agent will vet every buyer's financing before you sign anything. If yours doesn't? That's your answer. π
