I Need advice. I'm offering the same amount as a competitor

[Steven McPherson]

There is a seller who's wanting to sell his house as-is. He got an offer from another buyer for $120k and close asap. That is the max I am willing to offer as well. Is there anything I can do to my offer to make it more attractive while still keeping the same amount? For example, would it look better to try a higher EMD? Are there any other methods anybody has used?
