Making an Offer

Preparing the Offer

When you find a property you want, the offer strategy becomes critical. This is where our experience makes the difference between getting the home and losing it to another buyer.

Strategic Offer Preparation

With over 20 years of experience practicing real estate throughout Massachusetts, we understand how to position our clients competitively in any market condition.

In aggressive markets: Multiple offers are common across Boston and surrounding communities, the North Shore, the South Shore, Metro West, and Southeastern Massachusetts. We know how to craft offers that stand out. This goes beyond price. We structure terms, timelines, and conditions that appeal to sellers while protecting your interests. Our relationships with listing agents and understanding of what sellers prioritize in competitive situations give our clients a distinct advantage.

In balanced or slower markets: We leverage our market knowledge to negotiate favorable terms. We know when to push for concessions, when to include strategic conditions, and how to structure offers that secure the property at the best possible price.

How the Process Works

When you decide to make an offer on a property, here’s what happens:

  • We’ll recommend a price and strategy based on current market conditions, comparable sales, and what we know about the seller’s situation.
  • We’ll discuss which conditions to include for your protection, such as passing a professional home inspection or mortgage approval, while keeping the offer competitive.
  • We’ll prepare the necessary documents and present your offer to the seller and their agent.
  • If the offer isn’t accepted or if the seller makes a counter-offer, we’ll negotiate skillfully on your behalf to reach an agreement.
  • We’ll communicate with you throughout the entire process. You’re never in the dark when you work with us.
  • Once the seller agrees to a deal, we’ll help lead you through removal of any conditions and closing the transaction.

Experience That Wins

Making an offer is often the most critical moment in the buying process. Our experience in crafting competitive offers and negotiating effectively means you have advocates who know how to secure the property you want at terms that work for you.
