The real estate market in Silicon Valley has gotten extremely competitive for home buyers. In order to craft a winning offer on your dream home, you need to keep in mind a few different things while writing your offer.

Before anything else, you will need to get a pre-approval for a mortgage loan. Most sellers won’t even look at your offer if you have not talked to a lender and gotten pre-approved. You need to prove that you can afford the home before you make an offer to the seller. You’ll also want to show proof of funds for the down payment.
Writing a personalized letter to the seller is always helpful. You can include a picture of yourself and your family, and this can help put a face to your name instead of just a number. This can help to tug on the heartstrings of the seller, and sometimes this is the extra boost you need to push your offer to the top. Within the letter, tell them what you love about the home and neighborhood – especially any remodeling or upgrades the seller has done. Focus on how happy it will make your family.
Make sure your actual offer is written properly. Consult with your Realtor in order to fashion an offer with a proper price and terms for the sale to occur. It’s important to have a professional that knows the local market to craft your offer and ensure you have a “complete package” before you submit it.

When all's said and done, you need to figure out what the seller wants. Have your Realtor consult with the listing agent so that you can tailor-tune your offer to match the exact needs of the seller. Some people want a high sale price, and others might just want a shorter closing period for the sake of convenience.

Client Testimonials

Kandice - "Working with John was a very smooth process. We had known John previously and he was very professional and always followed up progress throughout our home search. We ended up buying a house in a new community. When we weren’t sure of the new neighborhood, John convinced us to go check out some of the homes. He was very helpful! We didn’t live close to the house being built that we decided to purchase, so John made sure to check on the progress of it since we weren’t conveniently able to. He would drive by and take pictures to keep us updated on the everything because he lived closer, which was very helpful for us to see how things were coming along."

Frida - "We were very happy with the service that John Fagan provided! He was always available to us through phone calls, texts, emails and responded quickly when we had questions. John was proactive in finding new homes coming out that he thought would fit our search. We were very happy with everything and had a great experience!"

Donnie - "While working with John I got results that were really tailored for my needs. He was able to understand what I was looking for and able to deliver the results that were specific to the needs of myself and my family, which was very important to me. I think the whole experience working with John was above and beyond! He was very patient and he didn’t try to push us into a house that didn’t fit our needs. His main objective through the whole process was to ensure that we were happy with our home and where we settled."

Barbara - "While working with John, we sold our house within 5 days for asking price and didn’t even have to do an open house. It was probably the best experience I could ask for! John came in and did a walk-through and told us exactly what to do to get the house prepped. The whole process was great!"

Erin - "I would give him 5 stars, he’s gone above and beyond! He’s very professional, a great communicator and guided us every step of the way. His first impression with us really stuck out. He didn’t have to come over and meet us in the home, but he decided he wanted to and ended up sitting down with us for two hours, really walking us through the process of what everything was expected. He really took his time with us"

Brian & MaryJo - "John brought to the table a lot of skill; he really worked for us as a seller. We felt always that our best interests were at the front of his mind. And there were home sales that didn’t work out, for one reason or the other, and he stuck with it and worked hard. I could call him at any time of the day, it seems like he was a 24/7 Realtor!"

Adriana & Sean - "John walked us through the whole process, which was great! We were really appreciative. And then with our new house, it was a new construction build and he worked with the Realtor who sold the house. He actually got it to close in time and he gave us very good advice as to how to deal with the financing and he kind of led us through that and made sure we got the best financing available to us. I would say he’s a very, very good Realtor. We would definitely recommend him and definitely use him again!"

Lisa - "John sold our house within two weeks, which was really impressive! His marketing was far better than anyone else’s in the area and I really think that contributed to us selling our home so quickly. He did everything from bringing stuff from his own home to stage my house -- to being there for appointments that I couldn’t make -- to helping us with other issues that didn’t necessarily fall within his normal Realtor duties."

Meghan & Brandon - "John helped us sell our house in Hollister and purchase our new home in San Jose a couple of years ago. He was super helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and he went above and beyond! He set us up with a photographer to take pictures of our house and the photographer did an excellent job. John set that up because he knew it would help us present the property well and because of this we were able to get multiple offers on our house!"

Tiffany - "I worked with John Fagan on the sale of my home and then the purchase of my new home. On the sale of my home, we sold it on the first weekend that he got it on the market so I don’t think I could have asked for better results than that! It was also a smooth, fast closing process. It was really unexpected and exciting. I really thought it would take longer than it did!"

Ron & JoAnn - "My results with John Fagan were exemplary. I’ve dealt with him on three sales and each time he did better than the time before! We were in the process of moving to Texas and my mother’s home needed extensive repairs, which we weren’t able to complete before the time that we needed to leave town. John took up that task. He brought in the necessary contractors, brought in a cleaning crew to polish the home and even arranged for some small staging to take place so that the home would sell quickly -- which it did! He marketed it well, he helped us price it well, and it sold very quickly, making the move very easy for us!"
