Successful offer on a house: how to make one?

Episode 7: Making the offer

"Sellers obsess over every detail in the contract. So, make sure your contract’s clear … Don’t miss any checkbox. You’ll be surprised how people will kind of hone in on one little detail. And if it’s a close offer, these little things are going to change your chances of winning, either for the better or for the worse."
