Making an Offer on a SFH

[Jameson Tanner]

I am about to submit an offer to my realtor for a small single-family home. I have heard Brandon Turner say that instead of only submitting one offer, it is wise to give the seller two offers to look at so psychologically they are forced to make a choice rather than an ultimatum. The house is overpriced for the market, so I want to make the offers appealing but get a good deal.

What are good ways/methods to submit offers like that? Does one deal include buyer covering closing costs and the other offer doesn’t? What’s most appealing to a seller when it comes to an offer besides a high price?
