5 cash offers. My buyer went $10k under asking with a 30 year loan and we won.
Property listed at $310k. Almost 7 offers came in. Five were all cash offers. My buyer? Went $10k under asking with a loan. And we won.
Here’s the thing nobody talks about in bidding wars: it’s not just about the money. It’s about the relationship. The listing agent wanted a smooth transaction. They wanted to feel confident the deal would close. They wanted to know everyone was happy. So we positioned it that way. Made the seller feel secure. Made the listing agent feel like they orchestrated something solid. Made it clear our buyer was committed and ready to move fast.
The appraisal came back at $400k. My buyers have $100k in equity day one. They can pull that equity and buy another property if they want. That’s not luck. That’s knowing the market.
Shout out to DhanThomas for closing this in 10 days. In a market where sellers are nervous, a 10-day close beats a 30-day close every time. That speed was part of why we won.
If you’re in a bidding war and you think it’s just about the highest number, you’re already losing. The story matters. The relationship matters. The confidence you build matters.
