Due to the lack of homes for sale, having multiple offers is becoming quite common. While this is great for sellers, it can be emotionally challenging for buyers as only one offer will result in a sale. Below are some misconceptions about multiple offer situations.
• Sellers have to give all interested buyers a chance to present an offer. FACT – Sellers can accept an offer at any time without informing other buyers, they can counter one offer and put other offers to the side, or they can invite buyers to make their best offer, usually by a certain time.
• All offers are confidential. FACT - Sellers can instruct their agent to disclose details about an offer to other buyers in hopes of getting a better offer. In most cases, it may be best to keep terms from other buyers but sellers are not required to do so.
• The highest price will win the bid. FACT – Many factors play into a sellers’ decision on what offer to choose. Favorable closing date, cash vs. financing, significant down payments, minimal inspections all play into what looks good to a seller.
While it is disappointing for buyers when their offer is not accepted, it is a listing agent’s job to provide open communications to ensure fair and honest treatment throughout the process.
Contact me if you are looking for an experienced agent to provide you with negotiating strategies.

Whether you just purchased your dream home or you're looking to refresh your home, painting is a great first step! Here are some tips to make painting any room of your home seamless and cost-efficient!
Guide to Paint Finishes
Once you know which room you want to paint, deciding what finish to use is an easy step before deciding on color!
- High Gloss - the most durable and easy to clean
- Semi-Gloss - high durability, good for kitchens, bathrooms, and trim work
- Satin - high durability, good for high-traffic areas, easy to clean - cons: not easy to touch-up and reveals application flaws
- Eggshell - medium durability, essentially no-shine with little luster, covers imperfections well
- Flat or Matte - medium to low durability, soaks up rather than reflects the light - con: tough to clean without taking off paint
This guide provided by HouseLogic is a great tool to use!
How to Pick Paint Colors for Any Room
- Making a small room appear bigger - paint the walls white, cream, pastels, or cool colors
- Making a too large room feel less cavernous and more cozy - paint the walls with warm colors and darker hues
- When you want a soothing vibe - paint the walls a soft, understated color or muted tones
- Sample paint colors on multiple walls of the same room
- Use large brush strokes, so you get a feel for the color
- View the samples at different times of day to see how it looks in various lighting, especially at night when there are lamps lit
- Also view during different types of weather
Tips for Choosing the Right Paint Sheen
"If your paint color is dark and rich but you don’t want a super shiny effect, step down at least one level on the sheen scale. That’s because the darker and richer the paint color is, the more colorant it has, which boosts sheen. Ditto if you’re painting a large, sunwashed, or imperfect wall. The higher the sheen, the more defects will show. Adding sheen also increases the cost, usually an extra couple dollars of per gallon as you step up on the sheen scale." (houselogic.com)
