bringing an offer to an open house/showing

[Jourdan Mercer]

I've heard of people bringing an offer with them to an open house/house showing and handing their offer directly to the listing agent in person with a deposit check, showing they mean business and are ready to move forward.

Has anyone done this or have any suggestions on the best way to go about doing this?

I have a property I'm very interested in that I'm going to see this weekend and would like to put my best offer out there.
