How can you get your offer accepted when it’s contingent on the sale of your current home? My team and I have done this a million times, and we have a proven system to get the job done.

First, you need to understand your finances. Make sure your loan is squared away. Work with a quality lender who will make sure your pre-approval is good to go. You can even get that pre-approval underwritten ahead of time so that you have an actual approved loan. That will make your offer appear incredibly strong in the eyes of the seller.

Next, prepare your home for the market. Have a staging consultation, do all the light painting and touch-ups you may need, and declutter the property. Make sure your home is ready to go on the market whenever your offer is accepted. That will make your life a lot easier because you won’t have to scramble to prepare your home for the market.


Make sure your home is all ready to hit the market.


Make sure you write a strong offer.
Don’t just offer a good price. Pay attention to terms as well. For example, the seller may need some sort of rent-back, or they may ask you to pay the closing costs. Understand what the seller wants and write the offer according to what’s important to them.

Finally, you want to work with the right agent who has your best interests at heart. My team and I can make sure you get into your new home even if you have to sell your current one.

If you have any questions, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
