How to Win the Home You Love Without Overpaying​

How to Win the Home You Love Without Overpaying​


The class is scheduled for Tuesday, February 3, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern Time. It is an online event, so buyers can join from anywhere for a focused, one-hour strategy session.​

What you’ll learn

In competitive markets, buyers often feel pressure to “do whatever it takes,” including offering more than they are comfortable with or waiving contingencies. This session explains how offers are actually evaluated and how to write a strong offer without simply throwing more money at the problem.​

Key topics include:

  • What sellers care about most in an offer beyond just price.​

  • How to strengthen your offer terms without immediately increasing the purchase price.​

  • Common mistakes that cause buyers to lose the home they love.​

  • How the team negotiates on your behalf to balance competitiveness and protection.​

The tone is education-first and practical, aimed at helping buyers feel prepared before they find “the one.”​

About the series and who it’s for

This class is part of the Prepare to Buy a Home Series, covering every major step of the buying journey—from getting started and financing to credit, inspections, and crafting strong offers. It is ideal for buyers who expect to compete in multiple-offer situations and want a clear strategy before they start writing offers.​

These events are intended for buyers who are not currently under a signed buyer representation agreement; if you are already under contract with another agent, the organizers note that it would be unethical for them to provide guidance.​
