When a listing attracts multiple offers, sellers gain negotiating power. Competing buyers may raise their price, waive contingencies, or offer flexible closing terms. Agents can leverage this scenario to secure the best combination of price and terms for their clients. Your agent can prepare you for this possibility and guide you through comparing offers to help you choose wisely beyond just the highest dollar amount.

MLS descriptions can feel like a different language! Understanding the terminology helps buyers make sense of a home’s status. The clearer you are on the terminology, the faster you can act when the right property appears. “Active” means the home is currently for sale and accepting offers. “Contingent” means the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions, like financing or inspections, must be met before it closes. “Pending” means all contingencies have been satisfied and the sale is moving toward closing.

Earnest money acts like a handshake with financial weight - it shows the seller that the buyer is serious. It’s a deposit (usually 1–3% of the purchase price) held in escrow to signal serious intent. If the sale closes, it goes toward the down payment; if the buyer backs out without a valid contingency, it may be forfeited.
