Making an Offer that Gets Accepted in Atlanta

The Moment of Truth

You’ve found “the one.” That Atlanta home you’ve been dreaming of is on the market, and now it’s time to make your move. But in today’s competitive real estate environment, simply submitting an offer isn’t enough—you need a strategy that helps you stand out.

At CAVU Realty, we’ve guided countless buyers across the Atlanta metro through this exact step, and we know what it takes to craft an offer that gets noticed.


Key Elements of a Strong Offer

  1. Know the Market
    Before writing an offer, we’ll analyze recent sales in the neighborhood to determine the home’s fair market value. Atlanta’s market varies greatly by area—what works in Fayetteville may not work in East Atlanta.
  2. Get Pre-Approved, Not Just Pre-Qualified
    Sellers take buyers with a full pre-approval seriously. It proves you’re financially ready and removes doubts about your ability to close.
  3. Consider More Than Just Price
    While offering the right price is critical, sellers often look at other terms too. A flexible closing date, a larger earnest money deposit, or limiting contingencies can make your offer more appealing.
  4. Write a Clean, Clear Offer
    The fewer conditions and complications, the better. Our team ensures your offer is professional, accurate, and easy for the seller to accept.
