Make a Strong Offer as Lexington MA Homebuyer

Lexington MA Homebuyers
In today’s competitive market, it’s important that as a Lexington MA homebuyer, you make a strong, competitive offer on the house you want to purchase! Homes are selling fast in the Lexington MA real estate market this year. As your Lexington MA real estate agent, allow me to offer some tips:

1.  Get preapproved for a mortgage loan. Do this before you begin your home search, so you know exactly what you can afford, and sellers will take your offer seriously.

2.  Know what you need. This isn’t the time to be picky, but write down your absolute must-haves in a house so that you’re only viewing listings that fit your criteria.

3.  Make a fast offer. Once you find a home that meets your criteria and price range, put in an offer immediately. Many listings are gone in weeks, or even days!

4.  Stand out with your offer. Pay in cash, offer asking price or over, add an escalation clause, be flexible with move-in dates and contingencies, write a letter to the seller. These are all great ways to stand out.

As your Lexington MA real estate agent, I am here to help guide you through the entire home-buying process, and to help you make an informed decision when it comes time to make an offer! When ready to buy in the Lexington MA real estate market, give me a call! Let’s find you your dream home!
