In this article, I wanted to share some important elements of expeditious offers to buyers, a critical tool in a buyer's belt for getting under contract on the best house for them available when they're looking.
In order to reduce the time between when you see a property and when you make an offer, it's a good idea to at least start reviewing some items & have some things ready before showings, with the most important items in bold:
Importance of Expeditious Offers
Expeditious Offers Without Doing Your Homework Increases Probability of Buyer's Remorse
Lack of Advanced Preparation for Offers That Slow Offer Process Down is Too Common
Acquire preapproval/proof of funds & always have 1 available from the past 30 days.
Sign a buyer brokerage agreement before your 1st showing.
Review & Sign Disclosures.
Go through Adam's master spreadsheet of prospective home purchase considerations.
See my articles on Preparing for Showings & below & above asking price offers.
Go through Adam's buyer's guide at least through the time of offer.
Go through Adam's competing offer scenario spreadsheet.
Review & partially fill in Adam's questions for offer spreadsheet.
