Top 10 Tips to Getting An Accepted Offer in A Hot Market
Is your market a little overheated due to low inventory? Bidding wars, grumpy agents, and frenzied activity got you down? Here are my top 10 tips to getting an accepted offer in a hot market:
1. Be flexible, remember a 2 bedroom house is just a 4 bedroom house without the 2 extra bedrooms that you need….
2. Left over 4th of July fireworks? Give your offer presentation a little zing.
3. For your verification of funds, stack twenties on the listing agent’s desk.
4. Instead of a pest clearance, settle for ant stakes.
5. Initial deposit: Your 401K.
6. Remember, it’s not begging until your knees touch the floor.
7. Think outside the box — why can’t the closing be at the Four Seasons?
8. Tell the seller the home inspection will be a drive by.
9. Start a house petition on change.org. Send invitation to all of seller’s facebook friends.
10. Pre-qualification letters are for suckers — have your loan officer post a bond.
