FL MORTGAGE BROKER: Ensure LISTING Agent presents offer to seller
How to ensure Listing Agent presents your offer to the seller.
In advance of even looking at a listed property:
1. email or have your buyer's agent email your Approval Letter for your MAX purchase price, regardless of how much higher it is than the list price of the property you are considering (the higher, the better) & an Attorney Escrow Letter of $5000 or more (the more the better) to the Listing Agent with instructions for the Listing Agent to forward the email directly to the Seller.
2. take the two letters with a copy of the email where it was sent to the Listing Agent and mail them directly to the sellers, this way that have something physically in their hands, letting them know you are a REAL buyer are not playing games!
None of the other potential buyers do this, so it will no doubt get the seller's attention.
It also puts any Sand Bagging listing agent on verified notice and/or "Forces" them to cooperate in showing their own listing should you need them too and better ensures your offer actually reaches the seller...who's already loving you in advance and asking about you!
