That's why I wanted to share the following tips to help buyers sweeten their offers and increase the chance of closing on a home."
Real estate looks different these days, but as an essential service in Indiana, there are still many people who need to buy and sell homes. Dedicated to a high level of performance, Heigl continually takes courses to improve her knowledge and abilities, and because of that she remains in the top 1% of REALTORS® in her board. She is also CRS, ABR, e-Pro, and Relocation and Luxury Home certified.
Laura says, "If you're planning to buy, these tips might benefit you."
1. Be a non-contingent buyer
A non-contingent buyer is not dependent upon the sale of one home to buy another. By not having to sell a home first, it makes the offer cleaner and reduces complications and wait time.
2. Be flexible on the closing & possession dates
The more flexible a potential buyer can be with what works for the sellers' needs on closing and possession dates, the more attractive your offer will be to a seller.
3. Make your offer non-contingent on the appraisal
When there are multiple offers for a seller to consider, or low inventory, a potential buyer may write an offer above the asking price. If the appraisal comes back at a value lower than the purchase price it could impact the potential buyer's loan. If the buyer walks away from the contract, it puts the seller at a disadvantage for losing days on the market thinking they had a pending deal. So, if the offer is non-contingent on the appraisal, that means the buyer is willing to cover the difference between the offer price and the appraisal amount if the appraisal is lower than expected.
