Getting an offer, or multiple offers, is an exciting milestone. But before you immediately choose the highest number, there are several other details that can affect how strong an offer really is.

Here are 5 important factors to consider beyond the offer price:

1๏ธโƒฃ Earnest Money Deposit
A larger deposit can show that the buyer is serious about the purchase and may provide additional protection for the seller under the terms of the contract.

2๏ธโƒฃ Contingencies
Review inspection, appraisal, financing, sale-of-home, and title contingencies. These conditions can affect the timeline and whether the transaction ultimately moves forward.

3๏ธโƒฃ Down Payment
A buyerโ€™s down payment can provide insight into their available funds and ability to handle certain costs or an appraisal-related difference, depending on the circumstances.

4๏ธโƒฃ All-Cash Offer
Cash offers generally do not involve mortgage financing or lender-required appraisal and financing contingencies, which can reduce some potential obstacles in the transaction.

5๏ธโƒฃ Closing Date
The right closing timeline depends on your situation. You may prefer a faster closing, or you may need additional time if youโ€™re coordinating the purchase of another home.

๐Ÿ’ก And remember: the highest offer isnโ€™t automatically the best fit. Your financial goals, personal timeline, and the terms of the offer all matter.

Considering an offer on your home? Work with your listing agent to review the details and understand your options before you accept, reject, or counter.

Grateful to officially close 3996 Oakmore Road.

Listed at $998,000 and sold for $1,675,000, $677,000 over asking.

From preparing the property for market, to positioning and presenting it, to navigating multiple offers and getting everyone to the finish line, Iโ€™m grateful for the trust my sellers placed in me throughout the process.

Most importantly, my sellers are thrilled, the buyers are thrilled, and that is always the best part. ๐ŸคŽ

Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you to all who helped make this a successful closing.
