Are you struggling to win in a multiple offer situation? Here how to overcome it from San Diego realtor Sean Setzer. The key is to work with a trusted negotiator like me or someone on my team. As a skilled negotiator, I understand that there's more to an offer than just the purchase price. Let me guide you through the process and give you the best chance of securing your dream home.

Have you been having trouble getting your offers accepted? Getting beat out in a multiple offer situation? The key is is to work with a trusted negotiator like myself or someone on my team. There's a lot of things we can do with the offer other than just purchase price.

There are terms, there are things the seller might want aside from purchase price. So what I will do is I'm going to call the other agent, build some rapport, and I'm going to see what is important to the seller. Not all the time is it just top dollar. They may be moving out of state. They may have kids in school, they may need a rent back, for example. So we can offer up to a 29 day rent back free and they can stay in the home after we close, have time to move, which may be super important to them and it may take your offer over the next.

There's things like contingencies that we can shorten down. We can shorten down the inspection, we can shorten down the appraisal, the loan contingency. This makes sellers feel more comfortable with your offer because they know that the shorter they are, less time you have to back out. So we can, you know, offer a rent back.

We can shorten our contingencies, we can shorten the escrow period or we can make it a longer escrow period. So don't always just fall into wanting to do top dollar. Hire a trusted negotiator like myself, feel out the situation, see what the seller wants. And you may be able to win in a multiple offer situation over the next guy even if they have a higher purchase price. So just know aside from purchase price, there are things that you can do with your offer to get accepted.

And anytime you want to talk about it, I'd be happy to go over this and my strategies with you and then we can put it to work and get you in your dream home.
