3 Tips for my Austin Buyers in Multiple Offer Situations
A lot of my clients in Austin are probably aware that multiple offer situations are becoming common- we deal with this situation almost daily at my firm! I have three pieces of advice for you that should help you in situations like these:

1. Have an aggressive and knowledgeable buyer's agent on your side: We have had 2 different listings this year that had over 20 offers on them! You will need an experienced agent who can write a good offer and negotiate to put you in the best position possible. 
2. Make sure your agent knows what the sellers want: What are their goals? When do they want to move out? If you ask the right questions, you can get that information out of a listing agent. Listing agents usually like this, and they can tell that you're serious about purchasing a home. Opening up a dialogue always helps.
3. Altering your contract: You can alter your contract in order to please the seller. Arrange a closing period that works best for them and a move-in date that they prefer. If you're already pre-approved for a loan, you may not need to have a financing addendum.

If you're losing out on multiple offers, I urge you to come and see what I can do for you to get the home that you desire.

As always, if you have any questions or would like any assistance finding real estate in Austin, then please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be more than willing to help you.
