We offered (20K) over 5% above the list price with no contingencies and a 30 day close. Although the open house was packed we were not aware that there ended up being over 24offers as the listing agent wouldn't confirm how many offers were in hand at the time of the deadline. The winning offer was likely comfortably into the 400K range with no contingencies…

After seeing this condo in a 3 unit building converted in 2006, the buyer decided to make an offer. The condo was slightly overpriced so he offered net about $25,000 under the asking price in the second week on the market. The seller declined to counter and instead lowered the condo price by $14000 and set an open house for the weekend. The buyer came back with his best and highest offer which was just $6000 more than his initial offer but included an "as is" inspection clause and told the seller he wanted a reply by the morning or was going to move on. The seller accepted his offer.…

Buyers came in just over asking price with a personal letter to the sellers and waiving inspection. In addition we gave the sellers the option to do a use and occupancy agreement for two months past closing, all of these factors combined got us the offer accepted.…

At best and final there were 9 other offers (all given a best and final shot). We started 25K over list price with 20% down and a 10K inspection cap with a 35day close. 4 people in the best and final increased their offers and 3 were over 500K. We bumped up an additional 10K and added an low appraisal coverage of up to 10K as well. That was enough in the end to push us to the highest offer despite 3 other offers being very close to our winning offer.…
