If you’re thinking about buying a home right now, you’ve probably asked yourself:
How much should we offer? Should we waive inspections? What can we do to make sure we win?
These are valid questions—but the truth is, price alone isn’t enough.
I recently recorded a podcast episode that breaks down exactly what it takes to write a winning offer in today’s market. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or moving up to your next home, this episode will give you the full framework.
Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll learn:
The mindset you need before you submit an offer – including how to set a clear ceiling price so you don’t overpay out of fear.
The intel you need to gather – like why offer deadlines are a good signal of activity and how to uncover what the seller values most.
Key offer elements you can adjust – price, contingencies, appraisal gaps, inspection terms, closing dates, and more.
Why relationships and communication matter – including how working with the right agent can help you stand out, especially when dealing with less experienced agents on the other side.
The power of personal touches – like the story of how a simple letter from a buyer led my sellers to choose her offer, even though it was considerably lower than the others.
