This is a period of the process where there&#8217;s less precision &#8211; you never know exactly how flexible a seller might be or what their thresholds are for turning you down.<\/p>\n<p>At Mortgage Investors Group, we&#8217;re a mortgage company that does more than just provide funds. We can help with areas like making an attractive offer to a seller and differentiating yourself from other buyers. Here are some basic tips we offer.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Numbers Are King<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There will be a variety of factors sellers will look into, but remember that the basic numbers remain the single largest one. Here are some important areas to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Pre-approval: This is a program that assures a seller you&#8217;ve done your homework and are prepared with your finances. It also helps speed up the loan process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Amount: With more and more standardization of home values possible in today&#8217;s market, there isn&#8217;t as much room as there used to be for negotiation. There&#8217;s a bit of wiggle room here, but in general, try to make your asking price fair and reasonable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Simplicity: The simpler the offer, the better. Remove contingencies or demands wherever possible, as sellers will naturally look to the kinds of offers they deem easiest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>A Personal Touch<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The numbers are most meaningful, but that doesn&#8217;t mean there aren&#8217;t a few additional tactics you can take to help your case:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Show flexibility: There might be a few timing-related areas where you can help the seller and show you&#8217;re flexible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Optional perks: In some cases, a great offer contains something above and beyond. Maybe you can offer a period of leaseback for free, or offer to cover all home cleaning costs upon the move.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"1\">Personal letter: In some markets and to some sellers, a personal letter explaining why you want the home may sway a seller.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Building a Good Team<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As you go through this entire process, you need a good team on your side. This starts with our mortgage lender pros, and extends to a good realtor, additional advisors, and possibly some assistance from trusted friends or family who have been through the process before.<\/p>\n<p>For more on making your offer attractive to a buyer, or to learn about any of our mortgage services, speak to the pros at Mortgage Investors Group today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to the steps in homeownership, making an offer and negotiation with a seller for a desired property can be one of the most stressful.
