omaha home buying What happens when you and your family finally find the place that works for you? Well, now is the time to make an offer! To help your chances and make sure this is an offer that is competitive and works for your budget, you may need a little help. That’s why Bill Swanson and The Swanson Group are here, to help buyers in Omaha, NE!

Finding the Right House

We know there are a lot of homes out there, especially in the Omaha, NE, area. To help you find what works for you, we will create a list of criteria and then offer you a link to an app in which brokers add houses as they hit the market. You can see them before most people, and have a chance to put your offer in. We can also assist you in finding the right place with the 80-10-10 strategy, in which you look for a home with 80% of what you want, 10% of what you like but could easily change with minor renovations, and 10% of what you would like, but could live without.

Assessing Your Offers

Once you find the right place, we will look at comparable sales in the area to help you make an offer that is fair for both parties. We will also make sure you’re familiar with other aspects of this process, such as closing dates, earnest deposits, infections, and more. Sometimes these costs are paid by the seller, sometimes the buyer may pay some of them to help get the house over the competition. If there are multiple offers, then in addition to covering some of the closing costs, you could write a personal letter about your situation. We have a number of ideas on how to improve your chances!

Your lender will make an approval letter and we will send the offer. The seller may respond with an acceptance, a rejection, or a counteroffer. We will help you negotiate the price and once they accept, we can move forward with the next step in the process!

What Happens Next

Next, we start the closing process! You’re now so much closer to getting the house of your dreams. If you have any questions about the buying process, then contact our team today! We’re here for you every step of the way.
