So, you are a buyer trying to buy a home, and you keep losing your bids? Is your agent as aggressive as you want them to be? (a lamb in wolves clothing) Are you being as aggressive as you should be?
Here’s how you know:
Your agent should be suggesting full price in most scenarios, or over.
If there are multiple bids, then you should definitely go OVER list to snag the house.
You should try to eliminate as many contingencies as possible, while still staying safe in the transaction.
You should put down as much earnest as possible, that you can AFFORD to lose, if you have no contingencies.
You should be offering quick closes, and/or to close when the seller wants.
You should be prepared for temporary housing if your closings don’t line up.
You should be prepared to pay for inspection items that may come up.
You should be prepared to pay for the difference between your offer price and the appraised price, if you went over.
Have your financing in place, and ready to go!
Have your funds ready to go!!
You should be making quick, educated decisions, with your realtor.
Be prepared to lose some offers, even if you have these great offers, because so does someone else.
The right house will come along at the right time, and the right realtor will help you!!
