A lot of buyers are out in Porter Ranch right now, and they're looking to purchase a home with contingencies. Today we are talking about the three most important things to remember when dealing with contingent offers. They are becoming more and more common here in California, so we want you to keep these three things in mind: 

1. Be flexible to the buyer's/seller's needs
Buying or selling a home is all about compromise, and being able to be flexible to each other's needs ensures a smooth and successful transaction.

2. You have to be committed to the process
You need to treat your home as a business decision, and be committed to selling for the long haul. Buyers don't want to buy from somebody who is not committed to selling, because they don't want the transaction to be slowed down by the owner.

3. Make sure you are prepared
You should have a good idea of what you want before the home comes on the market. This way when it does, you'll recognize it, and be ready to make an offer.

Today I wanted to talk to you about sellers pricing their property right from the beginning. This is critical for a multitude of reasons especially today when buyers have so many resources at their disposal. Buyers can simply go online and have all the tools to be able to see what your house is really worth. Buyers already know from the beginning what your house is worth because remember, at the end of the day, the house is only worth what the buyer thinks its worth. As a seller, you can either agree or disagree with the buyer.

If you price your home right, you will most often receive multiple offers. This is especially important right now in a market with low inventory. Buyers right now are being priced out of properties and they will pay more than market value for properties if they are priced right. Also, if your home is in escrow and something happens where it falls out of escrow, your correctly priced home will have backup offers so you can avoid putting your home back on the market and waiting 35-40 days for an offer to come across the table.

In multiple offer situations, the seller also has more leverage when it comes to negotiating whether it is the physical inspection or enforcing loan contingencies. Lastly, you will find that you will end up netting more money when the home is priced correctly at the current market value. This helps you enter multiple offer scenarios and selling over asking price.
