1. Include Your Pre-Approval Letter

Already done—great job! Make sure to attach it with your offer to show you're serious and ready to go.

2. Offer a Strong Earnest Deposit

A larger deposit can give sellers more peace of mind that you won’t back out.

3. Limit Contingencies

Talk with your Realtor about keeping your offer clean. Fewer contingencies can make it more attractive.

4. Write a Personal Letter

A heartfelt note can go a long way, especially if you connect with the seller’s story.
