Recent buyers seem to encounter the same scenario every time: The market is so tight that several offers have become a common occurrence, and most listing agents like to examine and accept bids on a defined timeline.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

There are several advantages to sticking to a routine. Home buyers know what to anticipate, and having a plan provides them time to prepare their offer, in addition to giving order and structure. According to conventional opinion, the more traffic at an open house, the more offers that will come in; therefore, it\u2019s wise to wait for the audience.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

However, there are occasions on which one must defy popular wisdom. Reviewing offers as they come in might help you get things done before the open house in some cases. But what\u2019s the harm in skipping the open house traffic?<\/p>\n

Following are some of the reasons that you should accept offers before an open house:<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Serious buyers are eager to make a purchase<\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been waiting since before the property was listed, so give them a chance to be first.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Agents who have serious buyers don\u2019t hold off until the open house<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLet me in there!\u201d they shout. Working with a competent agent<\/a> who has a cleaner offer and makes the transaction go more smoothly is in a client\u2019s best interest.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Having multiple offers doesn\u2019t always indicate that you\u2019ll make more money<\/strong><\/p>\n

To skip the open house and compete against more bids, buyers will pay a premium. In the current market, where buyers are being pushed out by the quantity of offers and outbid by cash buyers, coming in early and strong is typically in their best interest.<\/p>\n

A listing agent\u2019s goal is to sell properties for the most money, with the fewest constraints possible. Experience has shown that five offers may get the same results as 17. All of the additional offers eventually become noise, paperwork, a pain and uncertainty for the seller. When there are a lot of offers, some of the best purchasers may opt to simply not compete.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

An open house isn\u2019t always a good idea for sellers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The prospect of a rush through their house is unattractive to some sellers. Many people will gladly decline an open house, if given the opportunity.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Offers don\u2019t come in until the last minute, when you wait to accept them<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone wants to be the last person\u00a0to submit an offer, so the seller sits and waits for a long time. Meanwhile, when the time\u00a0comes to submit an offer, home\u00a0buyers may be less eager. Early on in the process, when you can catch the excitement of a buyer who doesn\u2019t want to lose the home, is the opportune time\u00a0to get an offer.<\/p>\n
