			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.nwhomeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/horserace.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-108" style="margin: 5px;" title="horserace" src="http://www.nwhomeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/horserace-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Low inventory and attractive interest rates are fueling multiple offer scenarios for many Home Sellers today.  Well priced listings attract buyers, even during the holiday season.</p>
<p>So,<strong> assuming all offers are similar in price, how do you decide which offer to accept?</strong></p>
<p>I counsel clients to keep the big picture and closing process in mind as we consider these factors:</p>
<p><strong>1. Qualification</strong>: Is the buyer pre-approved with a reputable lender?  If the offer is all Cash, can the buyer provide proof of funds or are they waiting on some “should be here any day” type of windfall?</p>
<p><strong>2. Financing Type</strong>: Some loan programs require additional fees to be paid for by the seller, some take longer to close, and some have a higher failure rate than others. You’ll want to know this information up front.</p>
<p><strong>3. Additional Items:</strong> What personal property, if any, is the buyer asking to be included? Factor that cost of replacement into their offer.</p>
<p><strong>4. Inspection:</strong> What are the buyer’s expectations regarding repairs and is your property in the condition needed for their type of financing?</p>
<p><strong>5. Closing Date and Possession:</strong>  How long are you willing to keep your home off market and when does the buyer expect you to vacate after closing?</p>
<p>Sorting through multiple offers can be challenging, but ultimately it’s a great way to tailor the closing process to your needs.</p>
