Improve Your Chances of Buying a Cambridge Home
With inventory diminishing daily and multiple offers being extremely
common, it is of great importance that you position yourself to
have the "Best Chance" to get your offer accepted.
You enhance your chance of getting the home of your choice by doing
the following:
Get pre-approved for the purchase:
This takes very little time and is of great value. At this time,
identify the price range for which you qualify and which fits your
lifestyle.
Submit a strong competitive offer:
Submit the offer as if there will be multiple offers.
Include substantial earnest money deposit:
Acceptance of an offer is sometimes determined by the amount of
the deposit. A larger amount may signify a bigger commitment to
the seller.
Minimize or eliminate contingencies:
The fewer contingencies, the stronger the offer.
Make a buyer profile available:
Time on the job, flexibility, reason for purchasing seller's home,
etc.
Be prepared to preview a new property quickly:
Homes sell sometimes in hours. Be prepared to make decisions quickly
and be accessible to change the terms instantly.
Buyer and agent to have instant communication access:
Let us maintain instant access to each other via office phone, voice
mail, fax, pager or cellular phone.
