A Backup Offer Is A Good Position To Be In

By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

SOLD

Another gorgeous Grand Prairie home for sale has SOLD in the West Shore By Joe Pool Lake neighborhood by Realtor Lisa Von Domek.

This lovely brick with stone accent home wasn't on the market for long, and went under contract before my buyers offer was even reviewed...ahead of ours was a cash offer to close in 7 days.  But I recommended to my clients that we negotiate as a backup offer position and we prevailed as the cash contract fell out (sad for them, fabulous for us!)  Needless to say, my persistence elated my clients.  Now at the head of the line we quickly moved forward and completed the buying process in just a few weeks.  My Buyers are thrilled to have closed on their Dream Home today!

When you are ready to buy, sell or build a home - contact Lisa Von Domek your local expert.  Remember "Experience isn't expensive - it's Priceless"!

Lisa: Sometimes the listing agent tries to ram through his own buyer. Good for you to negotiate being the backup offer which resulted in a closed transaction for YOUR buyer.

Lisa, back ups are great for the seller - they can use it as leverage if the buyers get goofy.  And somehow, when the original buyers know there is a back up, it seems to make them want the place even more!
