When buyer demand is high and inventory is low, you may find yourself in a multiple-offer situation. While an all-cash offer can be enticing for a seller, it’s still possible to beat one with an offer that considers additional “plus” points for a seller. Being fully underwritten as well as offering more earnest money, a quick close, a pre-inspection and fewer contingencies can all boost your chances of coming out on top. Your John L. Scott broker associate can help craft a winning strategy to secure your dream home.
