How to Compete with Cash Buyers in Atlanta Real Estate

When you’ve found your dream home in Atlanta, you are probably willing to do what it takes to make sure it becomes yours. אחרי הכל, the last thing you want is to be outbid (or in some cases, underbid) by another buyer who turns out to have all cash!

To compete with cash buyers in today’s שוק הנדל"ן, especially in the new year, you will need to have a certain edge. That’s where I come in! As your local real estate expert in Metro Atlanta, I’m sharing five ways below for you to stand out:

Don’t hide anything

Being upfront with your finances can help a seller feel more confident in choosing your offer. Allow your lender to release financial details like your income, bank statements, and credit report. Providing this information may prompt the seller to consider your offer just the same as a cash buyer.

Accelerate the loan

Cash transactions move quickly and for sellers, that is a major perk. When you use financing to לרכוש בית באטלנטה, the closing process is not as swift and therefore, your offer may not look as appealing. למרות זאת, you can always ask how you can speed up the process. Depending on your lender, they may be able to turn around the loan in as little as 14 ימים, pending all documents are submitted efficiently and the appraiser is dispatched on time.

Bid higher

Cash buyers tend to offer a lower amount for a property simply because there are fewer hoops to jump through for the seller given there is no financing. If you don’t want to lose the home, consider bidding higher. Offering more than you think the home is worth could put you ahead of the cash buyer and in the long run, it likely will not change your mortgage payment much.

Make yourself known

לְעִתִים קְרוֹבוֹת, sellers want to know who their house is going to and including a personal letter could be just what they need to accept your offer over a cash buyer. Make yourself known to the sellers, tell them who you are, what you love about the property, and what you plan to do with it. In today’s market, it couldn’t hurt!

Move along the inspection

When a seller accepts your offer over a cash buyer, there is still one more potential hurdle aside from financing and that is the home inspection. If you can conduct your inspection within days after your accepted offer, this assures the seller that they made the right decision and you can follow through with the sale.
