Any tips to get a house on the first offer?

Question

If it goes to highest and best?

Answer 1

. Oh, if we could only know the answer to this question....life would be easier.   YOu can offer to close in 1 week.  Have cash ready and loan approved.  Big earnest money.  Offer lots more than the asking price.  Write a note in your handwriting saying you really really want to own this house.

Answer 2

Bid what there asking for or a lil more

Answer 3

Best usually has more pull then highest.   Offer the most cash, at least full tip.   If you are financing some, make it less then 50% and have bright, shiny credit.

Answer 4

make a realistic bid offer some where in the range the seller is asking.  if the seller is asking 225,000 don't offer 100,000 also engage a broker they may be able to help get you what you want without you breaking the bank.

Answer 5

*smile*.... seems like the magic question for all offers eh? lol, too bad its not a science. There's a million things you can do. If you really want that house - don't ask for any concessions and give them full price. Make it impossible for them to say no to it. I don't think in this market right now that overbidding for something is neccessary, but a full price offer should do the trick. Best of luck and I hope you get that house!!

Answer 6

The answer is very simple.  Insure that your offer is the highest and best.

Answer 7

Full price cash offer.
