We recently helped a young family moving from San Francisco to Marin win in a
competitive scenario for a fixer-home in Mill Valley. We discovered some red flags in the disclosures during the due diligence period before the offer date. Rather than submit our offer with a contingency to further inspect these items, we
hired a structural engineer and drainage specialist to evaluate them. The inspectors concluded that there were several inexpensive remedies to the issues, so we presented a contingency-free offer. We assured the sellers that we were the only buyers fully aware of the property’s actual condition, which gave them peace of mind. We also procured some numbers from contractors to do the upgrades and
since the budgets were reasonable, we could go in more aggressively on the purchase price. Finally, our relationship with the listing agent helped us gauge the competition and put us in the best position to beat the top offer without overpaying.
