Getting your offer accepted!

[Chad Seay]

I am a Realtor and investor and wanted to share how an investor got his offer accepted on one of my listings this week. The listing was a fixer upper and attracted 7 offers quickly. All of the offers were "as is". All but one gave the buyer the right to inspect within a short period and back out if they were not satisfied with their findings. One investor crafted his offer in such a way that he did not have that right. His offer was "as is where is" with absolutely no inspection contingency. His offer, even though $7,000 below the highest offer, was accepted because of this. Risky? Perhaps. Effective? You bet.
