Every question maps to one of six dimensions of offer strength — the same ones listing agents weigh when your offer lands on their desk.
01
Offer literacy
How familiar you are with how offers are actually evaluated — and what happens after yours is accepted.
02
Readiness to move
If the right home appeared tomorrow, how fast could you act — and how flexible could you be on the seller’s terms?
03
Financing position
Where you are in lender approval, which financing you’ll use, and how that reads to a seller.
04
Capital strength
Earnest money, down payment, and the reserves left after closing costs.
05
Risk posture
How you approach inspections, contingencies, and a home that appraises below contract.
06
Decision alignment
Whether everyone who signs is aligned — the quiet deal-killer in competitive offers.
