“Stevie D.” ReMax (630) 479-9479, South Barrington, Barrington, Schaumburg, and NorthWest Suburbs... How To Get Your Offer To Buy A Home Accepted

So you have found the perfect South Barrington, Barrington, Schaumburg, and Chicago NorthWest Suburbs Home and you are ready to buy? The next step is to make an offer on the home to the seller.

But what if the seller doesn’t accept your offer and someone else comes in and sweeps up your dream home right from under your nose?

With so many home buyers out there, many sellers are receiving multiple offers on their properties. This makes it more difficult for you to submit an offer that stands out and gets their attention.

You will need to make sure that your offer is impeccable and appeals to the seller. In order to help your offer get accepted, here are some tips to keep in mind:

1.  Make sure that you have your finances in order before you make the offer on the home, so that you can show the seller your pre-approval letter from your lender. This will demonstrate to them that if they choose you, the process will be quick and easy.

2.  Make sure that your offer is neatly presented and includes all of the required information. If the seller receives incomplete offers they may simply discard them.

3.  Be ready to make a decision as soon as possible. If you wait a few days, the home might get snapped up.

4.  Be flexible with your closing date, making things easier for the seller.

5.  Make your offer as “clean” as possible without too many clauses and requirements. For example, unless absolutely necessary, it may be a good idea to avoid asking the seller to pay for lender’s fees, home warranty, etc.

6.   If you can, give the seller more than the 1% earnest deposit on the price – which will show that you are financially stable and serious about buying the home.

7.   Write them a personal letter explaining why you love their home and want to live there (you may also want to include photos of your family.)This personal touch will make you even more memorable.

8.  If it comes down to price, it is best to consult with your Real Estate Specialist about how to proceed with your offer. Your motivation being a key factor in your decision.

Ask your Realtor to figure out what is most important to the seller, such as the terms, the price and or the closing date.
