Here’s a real estate trick for you this Halloween… my treat!

Remember that feeling as a kid when you heard about a house giving away king-sized candy bars on Halloween night? Somehow, word would spread quickly, and kids would come from blocks away and swarm the house! It didn’t even matter if it was your favorite candy; the opportunity was just too good to pass up.

Real estate works in a similar way…

As soon as a great home hits the market — especially if it’s priced well — word spreads like wildfire, and eager buyers swarm to see it. Unfortunately, unlike candy bars, there’s only one house, and only one buyer will end up being able to buy it.

The secret to securing your dream home is being prepared and arriving at the doorstep before other buyers. While it isn’t a guarantee your offer will be accepted, it shows the seller (and their agent!) that you’re serious and motivated, which can help set you apart and tip the scales in your favor in a multiple-offer scenario.

If there’s a specific type of home you’re eagerly waiting to see hit the market, please let me know so I can keep my eye on the market and get you into the home before other buyers and their agents start lining up on the sidewalk!
