Will You Get the Laguna Beach Home? ... Better be Irresistible

It’s been a long hunt. But you’ve finally found the perfect Laguna Beach home for sale. Problem is, so have a million and one other hungry buyers. So how will you stand out from the crowd and grab the prize? By being simply irresistible. Here is how to create major appeal in the eyes of sellers.

  • Fortify your offer with a pre-approval letter. Sellers love to know you’ve got the goods. If you rate a 730+ FICO score, include this achievement in the letter.
  • Also reassuring to the seller is proof of funds – with your account number nowhere to be seen, of course.
  • Email and texting are out. Agents must present offers to both the listing agent and seller – in person.  Of course, true progress is made only after your agent hands the seller a box of chocolates or bouquet of roses.
  • When your agent is talking with the listing agent, they must stay focused on the most important topic – you. How much you love and want the home, etc. Hopefully your agent avoids discussions about comps or reasons for your price. Kindness, not confrontation wins the day.
  • Get the seller emotionally involved. No, you won’t be going to dark restaurants together. But your agent will be giving the seller a photo of you, the family dog, or some other endearing artifact designed to tug at heartstrings.
