Behind the Sale: How We Navigated a Bidding War in Coconut Grove
Multiple offers are exciting, but they are also technical. The goal is not just the highest price. The goal is the strongest contract that closes on time with minimal risk. Here is how we managed a recent Coconut Grove bidding war to a result the seller loved.
Pre work that set the stage
We launched with flawless presentation and a price that made sense inside the search bracket. We scheduled a single, well advertised open house and ensured private showings for serious buyers. We set a clear offer deadline and instructions so everyone competed on the same terms.
How we evaluated offers
We verified proof of funds or strong pre approvals, reviewed earnest money and timelines, and watched contingencies closely. We asked lenders specific questions about underwriting status. We weighed appraisal risk against the comps and looked for flexible terms that matched the seller’s move out needs.
Why the winning offer won
It paired a strong price with large earnest money, a short inspection period, and a lender with a track record of closing on time. We maintained communication with all parties to keep backup options warm until the deal was past key milestones.
In multiple offers, structure is everything. A calm process and careful analysis protect your net and your peace of mind.
