Everyone's home ownership journey is unique and personal to them. There are so many moving parts, and in a hyper competitive environment, it's all about adapting, and learning along the way as needed. Here's a quick overview of our story:
The first property we wrote an offer on we came in 2nd place, 7 offers total. But we learned for the next one.
The second property, we came in 2nd place again! 9 offers total. But we remained composed and learned for the next one.
The third property of interest, they knew this was the one. They fell in love with it more than the ones prior.
BUT, I had to help them manage their expectations due to the fact that demand was going to be even higher! This time they were more prepared however.
Everything we learned from our past experiences lead up to this point; now they were caught up with the market:
On our third offer written, we beat 19 offers!
Third time was the charm as they say
But here's the best partwe beat our desired pricing expectation!
Really- Yes.
How? It's because my clients wanted to submit a pre-emptive offer.
After analyzing and consulting with them about the pros and cons of this strategy, allowed them not to get ahead of themselves and we remained steadfast and tempered, always focused on gathering intel leading up to the offer due date. That is my specialty.
But a pre-emptive offer, would have needed to be about $125,000 over what we ended up securing it at on offer due date!
The takeaway? Being caught up with the market paired with having sound information and sound strategy from beginning to end, is what gives an edge when the market is in a frenzy.
Better still- when the market is not frothing, this approach gets even better!
As you can tell, I love working with buyers and the workflow that it entails. It is truly rewarding in all ways and especially for the families I serve.
Looking forward to helping the next family!
