I’ve been asked a lot recently about to get an offer accepted on a home in our market, which is very competitive for buyers right now. Homes are flying off the shelf, and many buyers don’t know how to get an edge when bidding on a home. I wanted to offer my top three tips for getting your offer accepted if you’re experiencing a bidding war. For starters, you don’t want to lowball the seller, because in this market, they might not even waste their time with a counteroffer. For all the tips, watch this short video. http://www.nobsagent.com/2016/07/chicago-real-estate-agent-how-to-win.html

I was recently asked how to get your offer on a home accepted in a hot market. There are quite a few markets in Chicagoland right now that are very hot, and all the homes are flying off the shelf right now. I wanted to offer my three tips for getting that offer accepted in this type of market.

First, you don’t want to lowball the seller. Submit realistic values, because in this type of market you’ll just get rejected.

Secondly, you want to have a strong pre-approval letter, or better yet, a full approval letter, subject to appraisal, which makes you a cash buyer. We’d be happy to connect you with a loan officer who can do that beforehand.

Finally, if you want to go the extra mile to compete in this market, you can write a personal letter, including a personal story about why you are the best buyer for the home you’re putting in an offer on. Most sellers have a personal attachment to their house because they spent a lot of time in it and made a lot of memories. They want to pass that house on to someone who will take care of that house like they did. We’ve had a lot of situations in the past when a personal letter went a long way to getting an offer accepted.

Thanks for tuning in. As always, if you have any questions, send me an email. I’d be happy to help!

    This officer is what is wrong with Chicago Police. Chicago is not Afghanistan. This city doesn't need soldiers from Iraq/Afghanistan patrolling our streets. I'm a U.S. Army war vet and we need community orientated police.

    In 2010 or before, most of the violence in Chicago was from the gangs. Nowadays it appears that at least 90 percent of Chicago violence is from the flash mobs.

    “The very first essential for success is a perpetually constant and regular employment of violence.” Quote from AH. You're waiting for help that will never come and throwing these ideas out there that will never happen. When you take a shit does a government official stop by and wipe your ass? No so what makes you think that after you shit on your community and each other that the government will stop by and clean it up.

    Black judge Marvin Arrington's dismissal of white people from the courtroom almost four years confirms the findings by OD of Atlanta's crime problem. But those findings could be for any big city in America with a significant Black population. They are not an anomaly. Guns don't kill people; dangerous minorities do. In Atlanta, African-Americans are 54 percent of the population, but are responsible for 100 percent of homicide, 95 percent of rape, 94 percent of robbery, 84 percent of aggravated assault, and 93 percent of burglary.

    It's a reality that any geographic area populated predominantly by blacks is usually crime and poverty ridden. This is true in US cities and in African countries. One would think that in a country populated entirely by blacks would have no problems, but are almost always in bad shape.
