With inventory diminishing daily and multiple offers becoming common, it is of great importance that you position yourself to have the "BEST CHANCE" to get your offer accepted. You enhance your chance of getting the home of your choice by doing the following:

Get Pre-Qualified For Your Home Purchase: This takes very little time and is based on unverified information. This identifies the price range for which you qualify and which fits your lifestyle.

Get Pre-Approved For the Purchase: This takes a bit more time but is of great value. This is based on verified information and credit approval.

Submit A Strong Competitive Officer: Submit the offer as if there will be multiple offers in an escalating market.

Include Substantial Earnest Money Deposit: Acceptance of an offer is sometimes determined by the amount of the deposit. A larger amount may signify a bigger commitment to the seller.

Minimize or Eliminate Contingencies: The fewer contingencies the stronger the offer.

Make a Buyer Profile Available: Time on the job, flexibility, reason for purchasing the seller's home, etc.

Be Prepared to Preview A New Property Quickly: Homes sell sometimes in hours. Be prepared to make decisions quickly and be accessible to change the terms instantly.
