This Is Why Your Offer Isn’t Getting Accepted

So, are you finding it tough to accept your offers?

The truth is, sometimes, it is the nature of the market. But sometimes, it may be you. 

Here are some reasons your offer may not be accepted:

1) You're not being flexible on the closing date.

If your seller needs more time to move, be okay with a later closing date. It can make your offer more appealing and makes you at least *seem* like a laid-back, down-to-earth buyer, which, BTW, sellers love.

2) You're not being flexible with contingencies.

We recommend consulting your agent on this, but a 'cleaner' offer may lead to better results in a hot market.

3) You're not being responsive.

Buying a house can be first come, first served. Don't lose out because you weren't quick to respond.

4) You're not willing to get your financing in order first.

A pre-approval tells sellers, 'I'm serious and not here to play.' So get your stuff in order first, then make an offer that's all buttoned up.

You can't control everything, but for the things you can, you absolutely should. And in this market, the game's name is flexibility, compromise, and preparation. If you need an agent to help you strike that balance, slide into our DMs (hello@loftteamde.com) - we'd love to chat!
