 Give It Your Best Offer
Smart strategies to buy in a tight market
By Marilyn Kennedy Melia
Remember playing musical chairs? For many
eager first-time buyers, house hunting will remind
them of that childhood game where everyone was
scrambling to secure a place, but someone invari-
ably lost out.
With a limited supply of lower or moderately
priced homes in many areas, multiple buyers are
often competing for the same home.
“When a property looks good and is priced well,
if it goes on the market on Friday, there will be
multiple offers by Monday,” says Jim Fite, presi-
dent, Century 21, Judge Fite in Dallas-Ft. Worth.
But if a buyer misses out on one home – or even
two, three, or more– all is not lost. Determined,
flexible and creative buyers can still land a home to
call their own, say agents.
Here, a look at strategies that could help first-
timers find their way home:
1. Size up the competition
A competent real estate agent will know that a
property will attract quick buyer interest. In some
cases, a listing agent will even inform a buyer’s
agent that there are other offers coming in.
Moreover, when there’s a flurry of interest, “the
selling agent can give you a deadline, like Tuesday
at noon, to submit your ‘best and final offer,’” says
Mark Trompeter, of Weichert Realtors, Jersey City,
N.J.”
“This term doesn’t mean anything legally,” he
7 • CADILLAC NEWS HOMES & REAL ESTATE GUIDE • MARCH 2019
adds, because there might be further negotiations.
Still, in these instances, a buyer will put forth an
offer with the highest price he’s willing or able to
pay, with the most attractive terms [see below] he
can promise.
In other scenarios, when to submit your best offer
is a judgment call.
“Say a home goes on the market on Wednesday
and there’s an open house on the weekend,”
Trompeter says. “A client might be excited and
want to offer right away, but I might say, ‘Let’s wait
until the open house to see what the interest is.’ In
the meantime, I will be calling the listing agent to
see what’s happening and if we shouldn’t wait.”
2. Show you’re good
for the money
Price, of course, is a paramount concern to sellers.
But sellers must also weigh whether a particular
buyer will actually receive the mortgage he needs
to actually purchase and pay the promised price.
Here, if a buyer exercises a little extra diligence
working with a lender, he can reassure the home
seller his financing is sound – and perhaps even
beat out another, higher offer.
At a minimum, buyers should be “pre-approved,”
not just “pre-qualified.” The latter means that a
buyer lets a lender pull his credit history as well as
gather information on his salary and job history,
and savings.
Expect every viable buyer to be pre-qualified.
Some lenders may go farther, however, and “pre-
underwrite” the loan, says Gibran Nicholas, CEO
of the CMPS Institute, which certifies mortgage
bankers and brokers.
By “pre-underwriting” a lender works with a
buyer to secure all the information that can be sup-
plied before there’s a specific home the buyer has
put forth a purchase offer on, Nicholas says. For
instance, when documents like bank statements
showing a borrower built his savings for a down
payment over a period of months, and his past few
income tax returns can speed up processing once a
home is selected.
Moreover, agents say some lenders will agree to
call the listing agent to assure them that they have
carefully reviewed the buyer’s mortgage applica-
tion, and anticipate no problems.
A dose of realism, however: Know that despite
your best efforts, you could lose out to a buyer who
doesn’t need financing, but is paying cash.
Indeed, real estate investors looking to rent out a
home buy most frequently in the $100,000 to
$300,000 range, notes Daren Blomquist, senior vice
president, ATTOM Data Solutions.
The best a first-timer can do to compete is to con-
vey the certainty of his financing, and perhaps
show he’s the only who will truly love the home.
3. Sweeten other provisions
Buying a home is a leap into the unknown. No
one, particularly first-timers who may be on a bud-
get, wants to deal with a broken water pipe or
dying furnace.
That’s why it’s standard for a purchase offer to
include an inspection contingency, whereby the
buyer hires a professional to comb top to bottom,
noting any and all defects.
It’s risky to not include this contingency.
“When your are buying a home there is often ear-
nest money or due diligence fees,” notes Darrell
Hess, a Redfin agent in Asheville, N.C., and that
money could be lost if you submit a contract with-
out an inspection contingency, but pull out when
serious flaws become apparent.
However, Trumpeter says a buyer might stipulate
that he’s willing to absorb the costs of certain pro-
jected repairs.
Moreover, a first-time buyer who has a month-to-
month rental or a flexible landlord has an advantage
over other buyers who must sell a place before clos-
ing the deal. Stipulating that you’re able to close
quickly, or conversely, wait until the seller wants to
move, could move your offer to the top.

 You Can’t
Always Get
What You
Want
How to set a realistic home budget
By Carley Lintz

Talking about money isn’t fun. When searching for your first house,
though, it’s crucial to set a realistic budget lest you end up with more
home than you can actually afford.
“To figure out what you can afford when you’re saving for a home, a
good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, ‘How much should I borrow?’
instead of, ‘How much could I borrow?’ This approach focuses on the
amount that comfortably fits your budget,” advises Kathy Cummings,
Senior Vice President of Homeownership Solutions, Bank of America.
To figure out a manageable monthly mortgage payment, Cummings
recommends using an online affordability calculator, or, taking your
monthly income before taxes and multiplying it by 28 percent. This
gives you a rough estimate of how much you can afford to pay each
month, including taxes and insurance.
When building your home budget, don’t forget to figure in extra
costs. These include one-time expenses like closing costs, home
inspections and moving fees as well as recurring payments like taxes
and mortgage insurance. Buyers should also be prepared for post-
move in costs, such as new furnishings and home maintenance or
repair costs.
There are also resources available to help you set – and stick to – a
smart home-buying budget. “Seek the help of homebuyer education
programs and credit counselor for assistance,” advises Cerita Battles,
SVP and Head of Retail Diverse Segments for Wells Fargo Home
Mortgage. “These resources can support aspiring homeowners on top-
ics like saving for a down payment, budgeting and improving credit
score and can be available online, by phone and in person.”

know about getting services set up before you step over the threshold.
By Carley Lintz
Moving into a new home is never a stress-free
ordeal. But, the last thing you want on top of the
headache of packing up your entire life is to
move into a home without running water, elec-
tricity or heat.
In the excitement and fervor of real estate
negotiations, it’s easy to forget about the little
details, especially for first-time homebuyers.
As the buyer, though, it is your responsibility
– not the seller’s – to ensure the utilities are
transferred over to your name in time for the
big move.
Here are a few key pieces of expert advice to
keep in mind when handling the transfer and set
up of utilities in your new home.
1. Discuss utilities with
the seller before closing
Before you finalize the sale, you should inquire
about current utility providers, including water
and sewer, electricity, gas, telephone, cable/satel-
lite, internet, and trash collection with the seller.
This will ensure that there is no interruption in
services and prevent you from being left with any
outstanding bills from the previous owner.
“Always check the seller’s disclosure to see who
the current providers are to save time. There is a
place to list them and their phone numbers,” says
Susan Cavanaugh, a top agent with The Koehler
Bortnick Team in Kansas City, Mo. “Often, the
seller will need to inform the company of their

upcoming move and approve the utilities to be
put in a new name.”
2. Don’t wait until the last minute
Getting services set up typically takes three to
five days, but can take longer in the summer,
which is the peak moving season in most places.
Cavanaugh recommends contacting providers
two weeks before move-in to be on the safe side.
It’s also important to note that as a new owner,
you may be required to pay a utility deposit, so
be sure to ask about any fees and budget appro-
priately.
3. Find the best
providers for your needs
While some providers are preset depending on
where you live (water/sewer, electricity, gas), for
others you often have a choice. Start you search
by asking about the providers the previous owner
4. Notify providers if the
