Your Offer: Strategies that Can Make a Difference

If you’ve found the right home for you and there are multiple offers on the table, several strategies can help.

Tailor Your Offer to the Current Market

MIG professionals are market experts and will help to ensure that your offer is taken seriously, and that you can compete in every scenario. Multiple offers does not automatically trigger bids above the list price, but MIG can help you know when it’s time to go high.

Consider an Escalation Addendum

If you attach a price escalation addendum, it means that your offer will increase incrementally in automatic response to rising competitive bids. This ensures that your offer will stay on top, up to the fixed maximum that you’ve set.

Put Down Solid Earnest Money

When you put down more earnest money than the seller expects, you signal that you are serious about the purchase and financially stable. This takes some of the uncertainty out of the process, which can work in your favor as an interested party.

Submit Clean Paperwork

Submitting a clean, timely, and complete agreement, with no loose ends, strengthens your position, and a MIG Professional can help make that happen.

Your Preapproval Letter

A strong preapproval letter can make a big difference when it comes to standing out among multiple offers. Keep the following in mind:

• Preapproval that is based on full income verification carries more weight.
• Having a hard pull on your credit score helps to ensure that you meet the requirements for the loan program.
• Using a local lender with a good reputation can go a long way toward bolstering the seller’s confidence.
• Asset confirmation in the form of current bank statements helps to prove that you have the resources to cover your down payment and closing costs.
