Tip number one, get pre-approved. Look, there's a difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved. Pre-approved means that you have given the lender all of your financial documents. They have sent offer tax transcripts. They verified employment. They have looked at everything. The only thing they don't have is an address. When you are truly pre-approved, it's like you got cash on hand at that point. And with a good lender pre-approval most quality rule, state agents know they got a solid deal. When I'm able to show them I am pre-approved. Here's the lender. It is huge in getting your offer accepted.
Number two, figure out what the seller's motivation is kind of a novel idea, but it's not always about selling it for the most money. Sometimes sellers just want to sell it quick. Sometimes seller you to just take it as is. Sometimes sellers won't just a couple of days to stay after. If you understand what the seller's motivation is and what they're trying to accomplish, a lot of times it'll help you craft an offer at a better value
. I understand what the seller really wants.
Number three, make your offers clean as possible. We want to make sure that we give the seller every reason to say yes. So let's don't worry about the refrigerator or the place in the back yard or that cool dining room table.
If we focus on the details of what you want in that house, let's keep all four clean.
