Can a Home Buyer make an offer on two different homes at the same time? This particular Buyer saw my listing yesterday and soon with their agent. A couple hours later wanted to see it again and said they were bringing an offer. It was assisted, so i met them there, Looking at the name on the offer it was similar to a name on an offer I received on a bank owned listing of mine the day before. I asked their agent if they put in an offer yesterday, she said no.
.
As they looked over the home again I pulled the offer up on my Iphone. It had the same buyers name, same buyers address but a different agent. SO I asked the buyer when they came back in from the backyard. Sure enough they said "yes we made an offer yesterday on a bank owned home, we really love it but we understand they can take a couple days to offer, so we made an offer on this home just in case." I loved their honesty. I loved the look on their buyer agents face who had no clue they were working with another agent. When she asked the buyer. the buyers reply was "you never asked if we were working with another agent too."
In summary there is two lessons everyone can learn from this. The first being a Buyer should hire one buyer agent to work, not 2 or more. Sure the agent should have asked if they were working with another agent before even showing homes to them. Then, making 2 offers at the same time on 2 properties is not illegal, but the buyer should be prepared to buy two homes if both had been accepted. Making a good offer and limiting contingencies would be a better plan to get your dream home.
A Listing Agent or Buyer Broker's job is to work with their Buyer or Seller through each step of the buying OR Selling process. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
I leave you with my infamous words of wisdom that Buyers and Sellers can learn that they do have a choice in Real Estate Agents. Choosing a "GOOD" one, sure can make a difference. I leave you with my simple recipe to make your Real Estate Dreams come true.
THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
2. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.
3. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.
IN CONCLUSION the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.
