Be financially prepared before making an offer

Article tools

"The sooner buyers can close on a transaction, the better purchase price they will get. Be fully prepared before presenting any offers, and let the seller know you can close within 10 business days. An anxious seller will accept less from a buyer who can do that rather than take the normal 30 to 60 days."

Stanley E. Gilpin, Gillo Realty, Amityville
