Congrats on the wins @Jarrod Ochsenbein!

Big, covered, outdoor living areas also appear to be a winning amenity for each home. 

Quote from @Michael K Gallagher: @Jonathan Greene thank you for the reminder, its often the fundamentals done well that win out time and time again.  

We went in with what we hoped would be the winning offer because this is the one that checked the most boxes of everything we'd seen in months and we really like it.Am I even under contract for this property with everything in the address being wrong? 

You’re absolutely right about the market potentially shifting, and this is where those who are ready to act and think creatively win big.

It seems like a win-win: tenants benefit financially, and landlords strengthen tenant relationships while making their properties more appealing. 

Whether it’s Christmas morning or a regular weekday, acting quickly can be the difference between closing a deal and losing it to someone else.The holidays often feel like a time to slow down and relax, but in real estate, urgency wins.

It always comes down to understanding the seller(s), building rapport, and then coming to a win-win solution - we do a lot of creative deals, on & off market and each is always unique. 

Yes we were successful winning bidding wars 3 months ago using the family postcard technique;) Basically, we added a cute picture of our family along with our offers (which were based on conventional financing) and our “humanity” made us win over the cash offers.

However, I think eventually Big Government will win unless Trump has something to say about it.
