How do you win a multiple offer situation? Charlotte is a pretty busy, competitive marketplace, so we run into this scenario a lot, and you may have as well. There are, however, ways around it, and we’ve got some ideas for you:

  1. Get fully-approved. Take the next step instead of just having a pre-approval letter. That will make your offer almost as good as cash.
  2. Call the other agent and have a conversation. This is one we like to do to find out what this seller is looking for. Is a high earnest money deposit important to them? Or an extended move-out date? We like to know what their situation is so that we can cater our offer to fit exactly their wants and needs.
  3. Guarantee the appraisal. Appraisals are always a big deal. One way you can win is to guarantee yours.
  4. Write a contract stating that our offer will always be $500 above the next closest offer.

Those are just a few, but we’ve always got more! If you have any questions, just reach out to us by phone or email.
