Stop Making Silly Offers

Hi, it’s Connor.

Most buyers in NJ think the only way to win a home is to outbid everyone else.

But that’s not true. And it’s actually the silliest mistake most buyers make.

In this market, winning has less to do with offering the highest number and more to do with presenting the strongest offer. Sellers don’t just want a big number, they want to know the deal will CLOSE.

Here’s what works instead:

• Get pre-approved and have your lender letter ready — it shows you’re serious.

• Keep contingencies as clean as possible (but still protect yourself).

• Be flexible on the seller’s timeline — sometimes that’s worth more than a few extra thousand dollars.

• 
  

These simple steps can put you ahead of 90% of buyers who think “highest bid” is the only strategy.

Talk soon,

Connor
