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:

2. Binder or contract
3. Proof of funds or pre-approval letter.

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!

My listing meeting at the lovely home on the Pine Creek waterway was scheduled for next week. I had met with the homeowners, completed my market analysis, and created a comprehensive custom marketing plan that included professional photos, aerial views, and twilight views. But I needed a nice photo to use in my presentation materials, and as always, I set out to take my picture.

The home was gorgeous from every vantage point, but the money shot had to combine the dramatic walls of glass facing the water, the fabulous dock, and of course, the water views!

I could not capture everything in one view from the edge of the property. But there was a ramp extending into the water just next to the property that I set out towards to capture my shot. Here’s what happened.
