first time home buyer: "How Long Will it Take to BUY my McKinney TX Home?" - 30 Days. Exactly. - 01/26/11 10:06 PM

first time home buyer: 5 Ways to Make Your Offer Stronger WITHOUT Increasing The $ales Price! - 03/09/09 03:04 PM
OH NO! There's a HIGHER OFFER than ours? Guess we'll move on to another house, right?
I hear this comment quite a bit when working with home buyers. The buyer found the perfect home, got their nerves together to make an offer on the home, only to find out that there are other offers on the property.
Here's what buyers need to know about making a STRONG offer.
First, price is only ONE piece of the puzzle. Sure, it's a big one and it's best to not insult the seller with a low-ball offer that has no supporting documentation. But price … (6 comments)
