common homebuying mistakes — and how we help you avoid them
Most buyers don’t make these mistakes because they’re careless — they make them because no one explained the process clearly. That’s what we’re here for.

-
This clause in the offer states that the buyer will increase their offer price by a certain amount (e.g., $1,000) above the highest competing offer, up to a specified maximum.
It shows the seller that the buyer is serious and willing to pay more to secure the property.
It's important to include a cap on the escalation to avoid overbidding.
-
If the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price, this guarantee states that the buyer will cover the difference up to a certain amount.
This can be attractive to sellers, as it reduces their risk of the deal falling through due to a low appraisal.
-
Buyers can waive certain contingencies, such as the financing or inspection contingency, to make their offer more appealing to sellers.
However, this should be done with caution, as it can leave the buyer vulnerable if problems arise later.
-
A pre-approval letter from a reputable lender demonstrates the buyer's financial ability to purchase the home.
It's a strong signal to the seller that the buyer is serious and qualified.
-
A heartfelt letter from the buyer expressing their love for the home and their commitment to taking care of it can sometimes sway a seller's decision.
It adds a personal touch and can make the buyer's offer more memorable.
-
Offering a larger earnest money deposit shows the seller that the buyer is serious and committed to the purchase.
It also provides the seller with some financial protection if the buyer backs out of the deal.
-
Being flexible with the closing timeline can be appealing to sellers, especially those who need to move quickly or have specific timing requirements.
