We're seeing a competitive real estate market right now, and in order to help you compete with other buyers, I'd like to give you some tips on how you can make stronger offers to win the home that you want.

Making a solid offer:
This means that you're pre-qualified, you're putting down a nice down payment, you're ready with your paperwork, and you're coming into negotiations without a lot of contingencies.


Keep the offer clean and neat:
What I mean by this is that your offer should be clear, and if possible, it should have as few contingencies as possible. To ask for new flooring and a new fence would weaken your offer over others that aren't asking for these things, so try to avoid asking for too much.

Writing a personal letter to the seller:
If you take the time to write a heartfelt letter to the seller explaining why you like the home and why you want it, your offer will surely stand out. You will no longer be a number - you'll have a face and a story to go along with it. This can help to tug on the heart strings of the seller.

Hopefully these three tips can help you to strengthen your offers so you can win the Jonesboro home that you desire. As always, if you need any help buying or selling, please don't hesitate to contact me!
