Bidding Wars
How do you avoid a bidding war in a seller’s market? You don’t avoid It. You can control your time and effort by giving the asking price or a slightly higher amount.
Some tips for placing highest and best offer
- Know your limitations. Pre-determine a max offer price and what that payment with out of pocket expenses will be.
- Offer odd increments. (ex.$345670) Sellers want the most money in their pocket—even by a few dollars
- Lead with your highest and best offer. If you’ll be told no, then you’ll get that answer sooner, vs. later.
- Check the value. Work with a SMART realtor who is advising you with factual market data. It is foolish to over bid on a property where it will NOT appraise for that amount If you don’t intend to pay the difference.
