Found the perfect home in Glen Eden? In a multi-offer, you only get one shot. Here’s our “simple” guide on how to win.
You’ve found it. The perfect home. You’re ready to make an offer… but so are three other buyers.
This is a multi-offer situation, and it can be stressful. As your local team, we’re here to “take the hard work out of it.” Here is our “honest” advice on how to put your best foot forward.

The cleanest offer is often the most attractive, even if it’s not the highest price. An offer with no conditions (unconditional) will almost always win.
Find out the seller’s preferred settlement date and match it. This “human” touch shows you’re an “approachable” and easy buyer to work with. It costs you nothing and makes your offer more appealing.
Want to be prepared? If you’re actively house-hunting, give us a bell. We can help you get “auction-ready” (even for a multi-offer) so that when you find the one, you’re ready to win.
