Are you finding it tough to get your offers accepted?

The truth is sometimes, it Is the nature of the market. But sometimes, it may be you. Here are some of the reasons your offer may not be getting accepted...

1) You're not being flexible on the closing date.
If your seller needs more time to move, be okay with a later closing date. It can make your offer more appealing and makes you at least *seem* like a laid-back, down-to-earth buyer, which, BTW, sellers love.

2) You're not being flexible with contingencies.
I recommend consulting with your agent on this, but in a hot market, a 'cleaner' offer may lead to better results.

3) You're not being responsive.
Buying a house can be first come, first served. Don’t lose out because you weren’t quick to respond.

4) You're not willing to get your financing in order first.
A pre-approval tells sellers, 'I'm serious and not here to play.' So get your stuff in order FIRST, then make an offer that’s all buttoned up.

You can’t control everything, but for the things you can, you absolutely should. And in this market, the name of the game is flexibility, compromise, and preparation. If you need an agent who can help you strike that balance, let me know. I would love to help you!

🏠 Buying and selling at the same time? It’s not for the faint of heart, but it is done all the time. And in the end, you will be all smiles!

So today, I’m sharing my top tips for maintaining your sanity if you’re staring down both sides of a real estate transaction.

1. Involve an agent in the early stages of buying and selling.
2. Consider options for temporary housing. While the stars may align and you may not need them, a plan for where you’ll go in between selling and buying will smooth the rough edges of the process.
3. Get “paperwork ready” to buy and “house ready” to sell. Before you’re up to your eyeballs in showings on either side, get pre-approved and make any necessary repairs to your home. You don’t want to be scrambling on either.
4. Say yes to seeing “just listed” homes. If your search has stalled, be willing to drop everything when your agent calls with a new listing. The sooner you can put eyes on a home, the sooner you’ll be out of limbo.
5. Trade dollars for a quick closing. It may be worth a buyer’s home warranty to get a 30-day closing. Empower your agent to negotiate a quick closing so you can step into your forever home as soon as your home closes.

Selling and buying is a big deal, but that’s why I’m here.
