Buying a home
Some homes are priced to test the market. I'll show you where the leverage is and write the offer that uses it.
A strong offer starts with research. When the numbers support an offensive offer, I'll write it, and I'll tell you when they don't.
Motivated sellers
Vacant homes, estates, and listings that have sat. Motivation creates room to negotiate.
Listing history
Days on market and every price cut tell us how the seller's first number has held up.
Comparable sales
Offers built on what similar homes actually sold for, not what neighbors are asking.
Price negotiation
When the numbers support it, an offer well below asking, with the reasons to back it up.
Closing costs
Seller-paid closing costs and credits can lower the cash you need at closing.
Financing options
Rate buydowns and loan programs come from your lender. I'll coordinate with them so the offer fits the loan.
$100,000
below the asking price
An initial $600,000 offer opened negotiations on a property listed at $725,000. The accepted agreement was $625,000, with an additional $20,000 seller contribution toward closing costs.
$65,000
below the asking price
A property listed at $375,000 was negotiated to an accepted purchase price of $310,000.
$215,000
below the asking price
A land purchase negotiated from a $500,000 asking price to an accepted purchase price of $285,000.
Results reflect individual negotiations. Discounts are measured against asking prices, not appraised values. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
No. Tell me the area, budget, and timing, and I'll send homes that fit, along with how I'd approach each one.
An offer written to move the seller's number, backed by the listing history and comparable sales. When a home is already priced right, I'll tell you that too.
Often. It's negotiated in the contract, and your lender sets how much it allows.
The area and your budget are enough to start.
