A competitive offer should be based on the property’s condition, recent comparable sales, current competition, and your financial limits. Price matters, but sellers may also consider financing strength, earnest money, inspection terms, appraisal risk, closing date, concessions, and other contingencies.
I evaluate the entire offer structure and explain where stronger terms may create leverage. The goal is to present a credible offer that protects your priorities rather than reacting emotionally or relying only on the list price.
