In today's busy market, it can be hard to know the most effective strategy for locking in a new home. Today, I want to explain how to get the best results when making an offer on a Charleston home! 

First and foremost, you must have a buyer agency agreement in place before making an offer. This establishes the relationship between the Realtor's agency and the client's, and allows your Realtor to facilitate the transaction. Once the buyer agency agreement is in place, your Realtor can then begin to prepare your offer. 

There are several items you will need when preparing to make an offer on a property. The first is a pre-approval letter from a lender, which shows the seller you have begun working on your financing. The second item includes any disclosures you might have about the property. Finally, the third item required is the offer itself, which includes the sales price, the date you would like to close on the property, the due diligence period for repairs, and financing contingencies. 

In today's hot market, if you find a home you think is the right fit, I highly encourage you to get these items in immediately so you can make an offer quickly. If you have any questions about this process, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, don't hesitate to give me a call or shoot me an email. I would love to hear from you!
