I'll get right to the point. You can have your finances in place, pre-approval in hand, list of wants and needs and a great Realtor to show you all of the listings as they come on the market, but nothing will benefit your power to negotiate more than TIME!It is something that is not often thought about until it's too late.
Whether you need to sell something before buying or are locked into a lease, creating an escape plan to alleviate a time constraint can make the difference between getting your offer accepted or not.
Many of today's Sellers are trying to move up or down in size and will need to find a home that fits their needs. If they don't have their escape plan, they are usually willing to take a little less money to gain time to find a home or solution to the problem.
Time is particularly important in the current market with a real lack of inventory. Good listings are getting multiple offers a bit quicker than most Sellers are prepared for. In these cases the old adage is true... "Time is Money"
