SO many clients have asked me in recent months: "There are 25 offers on this house already. Should we even try?" My answer time and again? “YES!” Here's why: ⁣
⁣
Contracts fall through for ALL sorts of reasons—from contingencies not being met to financing concerns. You never know what’s going to happen. Trust me!⁣
In a market where multiple offers are common, investors (and sometimes buyers) simultaneously put offers on multiple properties. Then, when they find something better, they simply walk away leaving the property available for another buyer.⁣
⁣
Wanna hear a REAL LIFE story of this exact thing? ⁣
⁣
In this season of real estate ALL of my buyers have been put in this situation and we have succeeded in getting them the house they wanted. It’s all about finding out what the sellers need and making your offer stand out.
⁣
While I can’t predict the future (or what’s going to happen in a multiple-offer situation), I can say I put ALL my buyers in the best possible position to come out on top. If you find a house you love, go for it—and keep going for it until you succeed!

Even in this market, the highest offer doesn’t always win. ⁣
⁣
True story. ⁣
⁣
Sounds crazy, I know, but here are 6 reasons the highest offer doesn’t always wow the sellers and win the house.⁣
⁣
1. Buyers are inflexible on the selling timeline.⁣
2. Buyers aren’t pre-approved for a mortgage prior to making an offer.⁣
3. The highest offer has too many contingencies.⁣
4. Buyers ask for things sellers made clear weren’t for sale.⁣
5. Another offer is 100% cash with fewer contingencies.⁣
6. Buyers don’t seem personable. ⁣
⁣
Most of the time, the highest offer wins the house...but not always. In fact, sellers are free to choose whichever offer they want no ifs, ands, or buts. ⁣

Working with an agent who knows how to pick up on subtle clues from buyers AND sellers is your best bet for landing a house you love. Interested? Let’s connect. I’d love to help you find your next home.⁣

Record low interest rates are making monthly mortgage payments less than monthly rent.

Not only would you be saving on your monthly payments, you would be gaining equity in your home. Instead of paying $12,000 a year in rent, you could gain $14,000 in equity!

In almost every circumstance, it pays to buy vs. rent. Want to talk more about it and look at the numbers? Let’s do it! Leave a comment or send me a DM, and I'll be in touch.
