Congratulations to our first time VA homebuyers! After losing out on three properties due to escalations in a very competitive spring market and with transparent communication between agents, we worked with the listing agent to be the back up offer on the third property. A back up offer means that if for some reason the winning offer falls through, the back up offer becomes the winning offer. That is exactly what happened! The winning offer fell through and my clients were able to move forward with the purchase of the property and close on their dream home.
