Tell me about your experience working with Melanie Ferguson and Ferguson Realty.


"Melanie and Brett were great. We posted our house for sale on Wednesday and we had a contract by Friday. So it was quick and we got full asking price for it. So it was amazing.
Also, just the process of them helping us with a new construction build of our new house has been fantastic. We really appreciate what they've done for us, and happy to be customers."

How We Sold Lance & Kristi's Home with Just a Coming Soon Sign



Tell me about your experience working with Melanie Ferguson and Ferguson Realty.
"We had a great experience. I was actually not really looking forward to it to be honest with you. Just the listing process and showings, and having people come through your house and everything. We met with Brett and Melanie. Great experience. We were in the same thinking about pricing and that sort of thing. They helped us get prepared as far as what kind of furniture to leave in the house and the way it looked. We put a Coming Soon sign [in the yard] and had a listing date in mind of when the listing was going to start. Actually Brett and Melanie were able to get us an above list offer with just a Coming Soon sign in the yard. We originally had a 30 day close that turned into a 21 day close. We were really happy about that. With only one night of showings with four different potential buyers. It was great! We loved it!"

How We Got A Better Deal Than Chris & Yvette Were Expecting



Tell me about your experience working with Melanie Ferguson and Ferguson Realty.
"Awesome people. When you think about all the things they've done for us. The first time we sold in 2007. They helped us buy a second house. We thought that was our dream home. We had a bad experience with another house and she came in a saved the day. That was awesome. They found another house for us. She got us a better deal than we were expecting. Six years later, 2015, she helped us get more than expected on that house. She actually put the house on the market on Good Friday, and it sold that evening. It was amazing! So naturally, as we're going into this new house, what are we going to do? Call Melanie and Brett! So they're representing us now. Gotta love them!"

Today we’re going to talk about how we set our clients up for success when making an offer during a bidding war. If you’re thinking of selling this spring, you’ll likely face situations similar to this. It’s important to know how to deal with them.

There are several secrets and tricks of the trade we have to win offers for our clients that find themselves in multiple offer situations. One of the most important of these is a pre-approval letter. The seller doesn’t know you from the next buyer, but this establishes your credibility with them. Get pre-approved by a local lender, who is recognizable by the seller’s agent, so they can recommend this as a good move and a solid pre-approval.

We also like to see buyers put down a substantial amount for an option fee. This is the fee that shows the seller you are a serious buyer and aren’t just putting out offers on any and every property.

Another tip is to write a personalized letter to the seller. You want to put some feeling into it and make the sale real to them. It shows that you are a real buyer with a real family looking to buy a home.

As for the amount you offer, you want to be realistic about price. If it’s priced right, offer what they are asking, or maybe a little more depending on what the situation is. However, we would never let our clients overpay for a property.


Finally, we like to make sure we are utilizing the seller’s agent’s preferred closing office. This is something a lot of agents will pass over, but is just another way to highlight your offer and help it stand out amongst others.

These are just a few of the tips and tricks we have for getting our clients’ offers accepted in a multiple offer situation. If you have any questions for us, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!
