You’re finally ready to make an offer. You found something the perfect home.
A seller’s market like Northern Colorado means that there are more buyers than there are homes available for sale. It may mean a full-price offer just isn’t going to cut it. So, what can you do to get that perfect house?

TO PUT IN A COMPETITIVE OFFER:
We will help you decide on a competitive offer based on:
> Current market conditions
> Comparable properties recently sold in the area
> The property value of the house
> The current condition of the house

CASH vs. LOAN: Paying in cash versus taking out a loan offers a faster closing timeline and fewer chances of issues arising, making it more appealing to sellers. Ask us about our Buy with Cash option.

LARGER DEPOSIT: An offer that includes a larger earnest money deposit presents a more serious and competitive offer.

ADD A PERSONAL TOUCH: Include a letter to the sellers with your offer, letting them know what you love about their home. Adding this personal touch can give you an advantage over other offers by making yours stand out from the rest.

SHORTEN THE CLOSING TIMELINE: An offer with a shorter time frame for closing is generally more attractive to sellers over one with an extended time with a house sale contingency. A typical closing time frame is 30-45 days.

A SELLER CAN ACCEPT OR DECLINE your offer or come back with a counteroffer. If they send you a counteroffer, be prepared to negotiate to come up with reasonable terms for both parties.

Negotiating an offer is where  Buyer’s agent can be of great benefit to the Buyer and where a great agent shines.
