Home Buying Guide

Bidding wars can be daunting for buyers, but they don’t have to be. Many people assume the highest offer will always win, but that’s just a myth. The truth is, most sellers have a financial range in mind. As long as your offer is within that range, we can work together to leverage other incentives to lead you to victory. For example, a cash offer can tip the scales in your favor. And by waiving inspections or appraisals, we could earn bonus points while keeping the ball rolling and making things easier for the homeowner. Those are just some of the common incentives I utilize with my buyers, but there are plenty more we can explore.
