“Hi Gary. I want to be a smart buyer. I know that everyone selling a home wants the highest price. Any creative ideas on how to make my offer stronger w/o just raising the price?”
***ANSWER:
While top dollar is most sellers’ #1 priority, finding a well-qualified buyer is also important, especially now with all the turbulence and disappearing loan programs in the lending markets.
So I suggest you do this:
1. Get your financing from a well-known, trusted bank.
2. Get a real “underwritten” approval, not some loan agent’s own meaningless and bogus “approval”.
3. Have that pre-approval letter show your high FICO score.
4. Provide bank statements showing proof of your down payment.
Good luck!
