Erin Spradlin Best Practices for Buying in a Hot Market (like Denver/Colo Spgs)
13 March 2018 | 0 replies
As Denver has just been rated the hardest place for a first time home buyer, I've started a list of things that I think help our clients, but am interested in what other BP agents and people have to add to help make it easier for first time home buyers.Write a strong offer letter that's personalized to the place and makes you seem like someone the seller wants to help outIf you know the owner still lives in the place, consider mailing your letter so that it stands out from emailMake your offer as close to cash as possible - this is possible if you go further into the lending process than just getting pre-qualifiedConsider a market that's still appealing, but less expensive and up and coming (aka, talking to you Colorado Springs)Go with a local lender- local lenders return phone calls, work off hours and know contacts in the area- they can make the seller's life (and their agent's life) much easierBe as flexible as possible with your time.
