The Charleston real estate market is competitive. So competitive in fact, buyers who come with their best offer are scooping up the house of their dreams. Buyers and sellers both want to feel like they have gotten a good deal.
An offer or contract is the price and terms you are offering for a property. It generally includes how much you want to pay, the closing date, whether you are asking the seller to include furnishings or buy down the interest rate of your mortgage, and contingencies.
The most effective offers can answer the seller’s biggest concerns or issues. Do not waste anyone’s time. Consider what the seller is looking for in an offer and you will have a leg up on everyone else. One example could be that if the sellers are looking for a place to live they might be more interested in time than money.
Find a great real estate agent. One that you are comfortable with and that can guide you along the process. One that you know will always work with your best interests in mind.
