The highest offer doesn’t always win the house, and that can actually work in your favor. Sellers consider more than just price – they’re looking at contingencies, financing, closing timelines, and overall ease of the transaction. This gives you and your broker the opportunity to get creative and strategic with your offer. Whether it’s offering flexible move-out terms, limiting contingencies, or structuring your financing to appear stronger, there are ways to make your offer stand out without simply outbidding the competition. A well-crafted offer can be just as appealing – if you more – than the highest one on the table.
