Tips for buyers to act quickly due to homes selling quickly:-
Get pre-approved, not just pre-qualified: This helps show the seller that the buyer is serious about this home purchase and has a greater likelihood of being approved for a loan and making it to closing.
Be responsive to lender requests for extra information: “If you are diligent about providing the lender everything they request, you should be able to close in 25 days or less, provided the real estate agent title company and everyone is diligent about meeting contractual time frames,” says Scott Sheldon, a loan officer with Sonoma County Mortgages.
Be decisive, but not careless: Real estate professionals usually advise that no matter how much of a hurry a buyer is in they should still make their offer contingent upon a satisfactory home inspection. Buyers don’t want to get stuck with a problematic home, says NAR Spokesman Walt Molony.
