Right now, the market is in desperate need of inventory. So with as many multiple offer situations as we’re seeing, what can you do to make your offer more attractive?

As a seller’s agent, I’ve personally seen a lot of my clients rejecting offers where the buyer seems to be asking for “everything and the kitchen sink.”

With as competitive as things currently are, buyers should be putting their best foot forward—which means not loading down an offer with excessive demands.

When it comes to repairs and touch-ups, we have all kinds of vendors on staff who are qualified and willing to help you make any and all changes you might want or need.

The ideal situation is to create a win-win transaction for both sides.

However, expecting a seller to take care of all of these small details at your demand could cause them to drop your offer and move on to the next one.

The ideal situation is to create a win-win transaction for both sides. In this hot market, the seller should be comfortable knowing that they are getting a good deal by accepting your offer.

By not overloading the seller, it will be much easier to make your dreams as a buyer come true.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

How to Be Safe in Extreme Heat

This summer heat is nothing new to locals in our area, but don’t let yourself become careless to the dangers that come with it.

Memphis weather is always hot and humid. But right now as we enter August, this is especially true.

Now, this isn’t something I need to remind locals of. We all understand just how intense this heat can get.

But always remember that in this kind of heat, it’s important to look out for the dangers and risks that come along with it.

If you have pets, make sure that they are well taken care of. Please don’t leave them anywhere, especially outside, without water or shade.

But it isn’t just our pets who are affected. Be on the lookout for the safety of everyone around you. Whether it’s your friends, family, or neighbors, please check on the people around you to make sure that they are staying cool and safe.

Also, be especially mindful of the safety of the elderly. Heat can be extremely dangerous for everyone, but especially for anyone who might already be in frail health.

Have fun, stay hydrated, and be safe this summer.

The good news is that heat relief centers will be opening soon in our areas. These centers will be air conditioned and provide backup in case of electrical outages or other emergencies.

Providing water to your neighbors, the elderly, and also staying hydrated yourself is incredibly important.

We’ll be checking in with our past and current clients throughout this hot time of year.

Finally, be very careful if you play sports. Getting out to the ballfield is fun but can be dangerous in this heat.

Have fun, stay hydrated, and be safe this summer.

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
