Tips to help home buyers by Dc Fawcett

1. Make sure that you have a secure source of finance

Sellers tend to select you as the new owner based on your finance source. If you don’t have a strong financial source. Sellers will not make the offer to you since they may incur a loss.

2. Make an advance home inspection

Sellers offer homes more readily, if the offer does not contain the “subject to an inspection” clause.

3. Gauge the competition

Work with your realtor to evaluate the competition. Find out how many people are involved in the race. Are you contesting against a single family or are multiple families involved?

4. Decide on the price firmly

Establish the price firmly. Tell yourself that you want to pay only this much for the home. You will not regret later on, if you end up losing your home by a few thousands even. You can make a bully offer. A bully offer is something when you make the offer to the seller before the laid down date. In this way, the seller will consider your offer above all others. But, bully offers are associated with risks. Sellers will quote higher if you are in a rush. Sometimes sellers will not be impressed by your hurried approach and so on.

5. Make a huge down payment

Paying huge sums of money in advance will portray your strength to the seller. He will make the offer with a lot of confidence. Making huge down payments will expedite things with you money lender as well. He will issue a mortgage with ease and without doubt.

6. Good faith deposit

Make a huge good faith deposit. This deposit is separate from the purchase amount. The larger the deposit, the higher the likelihood that the seller will make the offer to you. The deposit indicates your seriousness in buying the home.
