With the Atlanta market as competitive as it is, you need to take the extra step if you want your offer to be accepted. Right now, we're encouraging buyers who have found a property they really like to write a letter to the seller letting them know how much they love the home and why they want to buy it. In some cases, the seller has decided not to go with the highest offer, but with the one that has a personal letter attached to it. 

If you decide to write a letter, it should be from the heart. If it's sincere, trust us, it will work. We recommend doing this even if it's not a multiple offer situation. It will simply increase the likelihood that your offer is accepted. 

Another strategy buyers are using is high earnest money. If you're in a situation where many of the buyers are making similar offers to your own, we highly encourage you to put down as much earnest money as you possibly can. As long as you're not going to default, there is no reason you shouldn't put down as high as five percent for your earnest money deposit. 

If you have any questions about how to put together a strong offer, give me a call! I would love to help you secure the home of your dreams!
