When you are ready to purchase a home, it makes sense to
negotiate from the strongest position possible. In a strong real
estate market, sellers can be more selective in the final buyer they
choose to negotiate with. In such a crazed seller's market, it's not
uncommon for a home seller to receive multiple offers on their
property. With that said; there are certain things you can do to
make certain that your offer is the one Seller goes with.
The vast majority of Purchaser's today go about the process
entirely wrong, putting themselves at an overwhelming disadvantage!
Let's look at this from the Sellers perspective for a moment. If
you were the Seller and had multiple offers on your property, all
things being equal, would you accept the one with Certificate of
Financing Approval or the one that was still conditional on
Financing? The answer is obvious. Why then, do so many buyers wait
to start the financing until after they have found the home?
What I have found is that those buyers are usually very good,
qualified buyers and are not worried about getting approved. Even
though they usually are correct and will ultimately be Approved, the
Seller in most cases has no guarantees.
Lastly, from a cost savings perspective...
As a prospective purchaser, it makes all the more sense to start
the financing early on so you can get a firm handle on your interest
rate and estimate of points and closing costs. If you do this before
finding a home, you are not under any time constraints and are less
likely to over pay like a buyer who has found a home and is under
strict time constraints.
