Is the Highest Offer Always the Best Offer? Not Always, Y’all.

Alright, let’s have some real talk. You list your home, the offers roll in, and BAM—you see one that’s way above the rest. 🎉 But before you pop the champagne, let’s take a step back. The highest number on the page isn’t always the best deal in the long run—and here’s why.

It’s not just about the price.
That sky-high offer might come with a catch… like the buyer needing to sell their home first. If their sale falls through or drags on forever, guess who’s stuck waiting? Yep. You.

The fine print matters.
Some buyers want a quick close. Others want a 60-day window. Some may ask you to fix every little thing from a leaky faucet to that squeaky door you’ve ignored since 2017. It’s not just the money—it’s the terms that can make or break a deal.

Solid financing wins every time.
Cash is king. But if it's not a cash offer, pre-approval letters are a must. A big offer doesn’t mean squat if the buyer can’t actually get the loan to back it up.

Contingencies = red flags (sometimes).
I’m not saying contingencies are bad—they’re normal. But too many of them? That can get messy real quick. An offer with fewer strings might be a smoother ride, even if it’s a little lower.

Local market matters more than ever.
Here in West Georgia, homes aren’t flying off the shelf quite like they were. Some buyers are playing hardball. So it's not just about what they offer, it's about what the market will actually support—and how that affects your net outcome.

In Conclusion…

Don’t get swept away by dollar signs alone. The best offer is the one that lines up with your goals, your timeline, and your peace of mind. A trusted agent (hey, that’s me!) can help you weigh all the factors and choose the offer that truly works for you.
