Twenty Ways To Get An Offer Accepted
1) Offer above list price.
2) Have the buyer write an emotional letter stating why they want the property.
3) Ask the listing agent what they want to see in an acceptable offer.
4) Don’t bug the listing agent by calling hourly. Or Texting with CAPS
5) Offer to pay cash & submit a verification of funds.
6) Offer substantial earnest monies.
7) Make the earnest money nonrefundable.
8) Shorten inspection periods.
9) Offer to buy the property ‘as-is’.
10) Waive the appraisal contingency.
11) Offer to pay any HOA transfer fees.
12) Waive any qualifying contingencies.
13) Use the listing agent’s title company. This is becoming common in my CyberStar Group.
14) Have the buyer pay for the home inspection.
15) Don’t ask the seller for any buyer closing costs.
16) Offer to help the seller move. Offer your preferred mover at a discount.
17) Be present when the offer is presented to the seller if you sense high competition.
18) Use an ‘escalation clause’ that outbids other offers. Cap the increase & ceiling amounts. Ask for a copy of the best offer.
19) Ask the listing agent what other offers have been received & when will they be presented.
20) Be 25% more assertive than usual. Then add another 5% of ABC; not always be closing rather Always be CARING!
