It's been a toughl week working with Buyers who are well-qualified - making great offers - only to hear these words one too many times:
"The lender is asking for highest and best."
So we give it our "better than our already best" - offer and still get a response that usually goes like this:
"There was a higher offer."
And then I hear one of these from the Buyer:
My offer was over ask price - you mean someone offered higher than that?
What? But I took it AS IS!
But I have a great lender, more than 20% down and I want to live in it!
But it was only on the market for a minute - did they even look at my offer?
Again?
I've decided to dust off the ole' Masters in Counseling degree and put together a support group to help get your through these frustrating offer situations!
In the meantime, keep in mind:
You are not alone - there are others getting frustrated over lost deals.
We'll find you the right home and you won't feel like you went through a divorce proceeding along the way.
The price will be right and your good credit and down payment will be sufficient.
You're offer will be accepted and not be a part of a war for bids.
You are out there and the odds of success are better than the person still sitting on the fencing waiting!
