The Value Of Writing A Fake Offer To Buy A House


The Value Of Writing A Fake Offer To Buy A House
By Scott Rogers • February 10, 2022
OK, OK, don't get too excited -- I'm not suggesting you actually MAKE a fake offer on a house... just WRITE the offer. ;-) ...and here's why... As we roll into March and April we will likely start to see quite a few houses start to hit the market for sale - and you might, finally, find the house of your dreams! When that dream house does come on the market, we'll need to go see it the first day (or second day) that it is on the market - and then you will likely need to make an offer within 12 to 24 hours. So, it's all going to happen rather quickly! When we get to that point, you will have to make a bunch of decisions, quickly... [1] Offering Price? [2] Escalation Clause? [3] Inspection Contingency? [4] Radon Test Contingency? [5] Appraisal Contingency? [6] Closing Timeline? [7] Deposit Amount? ...and more! Now, certainly, the answer to some of these questions will vary based on the property you are pursuing... but it can still be very helpful to talk through these decision points when we are not in the middle of a mad dash of putting an offer together to meet a seller's deadline for submitting an offer. So, if you plan to buy (or hope to buy) this spring, we might consider writing a fake offer to buy a house -- so that we can talk through the different decision points that will exist when we make a real offer on a real house!
