With multiple offers as the status quo in Dallas real estate for the foreseeable future, it’s never been more important for buyers to have an agent who knows how to structure the offer to win the deal.
Indeed, these are unprecedented times in the real estate market. Buyers are on the hunt for their perfect home, and sellers are coming away with more than they ever imagined. But even with demand so high, the money isn’t what’s most important in many of the deals that are closing every day, said Keith Conlon, president of Allie Beth Allman & Associates, the boutique luxury brokerage that sold more homes priced at $2 million and above in Dallas County in 2021, according to Multiple Listing Service data.
“What we’re seeing now is that sellers are not always going with the higher price, but the best terms of the contract,” Conlon said. “Seller’s agents often favor the buyer’s agent they feel can get the deal to the finish line so that there is no momentum lost.”
The team at Allie Beth Allman & Associates understands that there is more to a deal than signing on the dotted line. They go above and beyond to make sure their clients come away with a winning deal in this current tight market.
For homeowners, now might be the best time ever to sell. It’s their chance to cash in on their long-term real estate investment and turn it into something even greater.
An agent who fully understands their expectations and goals will make sure they get maximum value – with the minimum hassle – for this potentially once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“It seems that every listing has multiple offers and several showings,” Conlon said. “What you’re seeing now is how do buyers sweeten the deal to make their deal stand out? How are you going to catch the attention of the seller?”
The seemingly obvious answer is by offering the highest price. However, there are other details that factor in, Conlon said. Things like the length of the option period or who pays for the title policy make a difference in winning the deal.
That’s where the expert agents at Allie Beth Allman & Associates excel. By understanding all the factors in play, these agents connect buyers with the homes they want in situations where others just can’t deliver.
“At the end of the day, it’s about who comes with the strongest offer,” Conlon said. “A good agent is easy to work with and does what it takes to get the deal done and make it a smooth, simple transaction.”
