As a home seller, you’re in great shape with limited competition and extremely low inventory. But what about when you’re ready to buy in this seller’s market? People are successfully making their moves, and you can too!
So if you want to go for it, work with your agent to have everything in place to move quickly with a complete and professional offer that represents your most competitive proposition with terms that also work for you.
You Need 5 Components for Your Complete Offer:
1. Cover letter 2. Binder or contract 3. Proof of funds or pre-approval letter. 4. Signed property disclosures 5. MLS listing
Now that you have all the key components in place, think about the terms that are critical for you and the ones where you have more flexibility. These areas may be able important to the seller and can tip the scale in your favor. Can you offer cash, or a purchase that’s not contingent on a mortgage? Do you have flexibility with timing? Can you offer the seller a rent-back to help timing work if the closing needed to occur sooner? Are you comfortable enough with the property condition and price to allow your satisfactory inspection to be for informational purposes only? Are you open to offering to purchase some of the furnishings? These are the types of variables that can make both your move and the seller’s a bit easier and can often lead to a win-win deal!
