How Can I Make My Offer More Competitive - Closing on the Seller's Preferred Closing Date

How can I Make My Offer More Competitive? Being flexible and closing on a seller’s preferred closing dates is one of the easiest and most effective ways that a buyer can make their offer more competitive.

This will be a little more difficult for buyers that have a need for a specific closing date. If you are in a lease, then reach out to your landlord to see if there is some flexibility in extending your lease.

If you are selling one house to move into another, then make sure that the contract you accept on your house offers you some flexibility. Many times, this flexibility is in what is called a ‘Suitable Housing Clause’.

While very inconvenient, you can also look into short term housing to bridge any gap between when you need to be out of your current house and the seller’s preferred closing date. The company ‘Pods” offers a great solution to this scenario in how to handle your personal belongings.

The Buyer Power Checklist breaks down an offer buying power into three different categories. A buyer's offer will either be in the 'Low', 'Average' or 'High' Buying Power category.
