How To Make An Offer Stand Out On Your Perfect Omaha, NE Home

by Nancy Heim-berg

How To Make An Offer Stand Out On Your Perfect Omaha, NE Home There is no denying that Omaha, NE is a hot real estate market! With that said, if you find the perfect home in the city it helps to be equipped with knowledge to help make your offer stand out from the rest. These tools may be the competitive advantage you need for sellers to accept your offer. Let’s dive into this more below: 
 
-Find a great rest estate agent that has a broad understanding of the current Omaha, NE market and who not only communicates well, but also is proactive during the entire process. Your agent will represent you and will be communicating with the listing agent to help push your offer over the finish line by inquiring on items such as timelines, seller’s goals, etc. 

-To make your offer appealing to the seller, it is best to keep your offer as simple as possible. This means fewer contingencies, making sure the offer price is reasonable and competitive, offering a quick closing, etc.

-Show that you are a serious buyer by providing the seller proof that you can afford the home. You can do this by obtaining a mortgage pre approval letter or if you are a cash buyer, you can submit proof of funds in combination with the offer.

-Lastly, you can make your offer stronger by offering to speed up the inspection time. A standard time period is around ten days, but offering to have the home inspector come out right after the contract is accepted can really make your offer stand out.
