Receiving multiple offers on your home can be an exciting—yet daunting—experience. If you aren’t sure how to choose the right offer, these five tips will help:

1. Be organized. It can be hard to keep track of every aspect of every offer you receive without any sort of system for comparing them side by side, so putting each offer into a spreadsheet or something similar is always a good idea. This way, you’ll never struggle to remember which offer is which.

2. Set a deadline. Make it clear to potential buyers that you will only accept offers up until a certain date. This will not only instill a sense of urgency, thereby making your listing more attractive, but it will also help you to keep moving forward with the home selling process.

“

Always make sure a buyer is truly qualified to purchase your home before going under contract.

”

3. Get to know potential buyers and their agents. You don’t need to know everything about every buyer by any means, but it’s good to at least understand their motivations. When you know what’s driving people to make an offer on your home in the first place, this will put you in a much stronger position when it comes time to negotiate price, terms, and conditions. Certain information about potential buyers may also sway your decision to accept (or reject) their offer.

4. Make sure the buyer is qualified and that their lender is competent. If a buyer is planning to use financing to purchase your home, as most buyers will, then you need to verify that they’re truly qualified to close.

5. Accept a backup offer. While following the steps we’ve already covered can help you to choose a buyer who’s unlikely to back out, unforeseen circumstances can arise. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to accept a backup offer. This way, you’ve got a “plan b” to fall back on.

testimonials from happy clients

Frankie -“His organization does a lot of charity. I was working at the rescue mission at the time and his group, they usually go there a couple of times a year to help out, feed the homeless population, and support. So, we met there. I asked for his card, you know, maybe interested in the future. Once I found out that my family, we decided that we wanted to sell the home and move to another location we called him up and he was very happy to help me out. He gave me a lot of help, I mean, in less than a couple of days one of his associates called me up and we were just moving at lightening speed. They’re very courteous, always calling, they make you feel like a family.”

Amy -“I didn’t work with Chad directly, I worked with another member of his team. She really sat down with us during the time when she was giving us comps for the area and size of our home. She really sat down with us and taught us and she had the heart of a teacher and went above and beyond details that other realtors that we interviewed did not give us. I would definitely refer someone to the team and let them know that they really work one-on-one, are very personable, and they’re on top of all the details.”

Bethany -“He was a referral from a friend of a friend and he helped me purchase my first home about seven years ago. I was so impressed with his customer service and his attention to detail, so when I decided to sell my home I decided to stick with him. He is a passionate and driven person who is service minded. He will hold your hand through the whole process and make sure that you make the best decision for you.”

Lynette -“Great! Most of what he did was above and beyond. Some of the things that happened were quite frustrating and he was there with a solution every time.”

Yvonne -“Chad sold my house in one day! He also helped me with the process, he gave me advice on how to best sell my house on whether or not to do that by owner, what type of financing to request, he put me in contact with a real estate attorney. He sold my house in one day and helped me do all of this stuff, so I think he did pretty darn good!”

Rob Lenza -“And one of the reasons that we continued to use him is because of the dedicated resources that he gives to the clients. In particular, the marketing resources and the additional staff members that kind of helped and push everything forward. In my opinion, that kind of goes above and beyond the one-person real estate agent who doesn’t do a whole lot of marketing and that sort of thing.”
