TIPS: How to get your offer accepted in a hot market
- Shorten contingencies or in some cases remove contingencies. (Watch the video above for some great examples of this.)
- Ask pointed questions to the selling agent. If my client offers x, will they be in the running? (Note: there is nothing legally winstrol tabs preventing a listing agent from providing you with details on current offers.)
- Escalation clauses. Let’s dig deeper on this one.
Real estate escalation clause
You can write an escalation clause into an offer. It states that your client is willing to go a certain amount higher than the highest offer. In addition, you can build into the escalation clause an upper limit or a cap. This will prevent “escalating” the price too high, reaching an amount your client can’t afford.
Here is an example of a real estate escalation clause. Buyer offers to pay $____ for the home, but if the seller receives a bona fide offer that is higher, buyer will increase the price to $____ above the amount of the other offer.
This is a very strong option for writing winning offers!
