**A COFFEE TALKS THE PODCAST EXCLUSIVE** Yup...Sam and Shane are talking about it...again! But they are divulging everything that has been working for them and their clients to get their offers accepted. As Shane mentions, Sam got three offers accepted in the past weekend. So there is a method to the madness. It IS possible to win in multiple offers without being the highest offer. Just also know, everyone's situation is different. Some of these tools people will be able to use and others not. But adding in any one of these tools to your purchase agreement can help you WIN! I mean, who doesn't like winning?! Most importantly as Sam and Shane have stressed...HAVE A PLAN! A buyer with a plan is a winning buyer!
