Submitting a buyer’s offer is a pivotal step in the home buying process, and as a Realty Empire agent, you’ll want to ensure you do it with precision and care. To begin, gather all necessary information from your buyer, including their proposed purchase price, desired closing date, and any contingencies such as financing, home inspection, or sale of their current property. Make sure your buyer is pre-approved for a mortgage, as this strengthens the offer and provides reassurance to the seller of the buyer’s financial capability. Use the standard New Jersey real estate contract or an offer form as appropriate, meticulously filling out all required fields to reflect your buyer’s terms accurately.
Once the offer document is fully prepared and reviewed, submit it promptly to the listing agent—either electronically or in person, depending on the preference of the parties involved or the urgency of the situation. At Realty Empire, we recommend accompanying the offer with a personal letter from the buyer, when appropriate, and any additional documentation that supports the strength of the offer, such as proof of funds or a mortgage pre-approval letter. Ensure that the communication lines remain open; follow up with the listing agent to confirm receipt of the offer and to express your buyer’s interest and eagerness to move forward. As an agent representing a buyer in a competitive market, timeliness, thoroughness, and effective communication can make all the difference in having your buyer’s offer considered seriously.
