Making multiple offers on properties you are interested in actually reduces your negotiating power with the seller. The message sent to the seller is that you are not truly motivated to buy their house. Actually more often than not this approach backfires on the buyer. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we have seen that very often the same buyer who applies this method also is over confident and throws out ridiculous low-ball offers expecting that someone is desperate enough to take the bait. If you make a low offer assuming that the seller is in dire need of a sale, very often you will insult them and they will simply walk away. You also are sending the message that you are going to be difficult to work with during the entire real estate transaction, from negotiation, through home inspections and settlement.
