Brenton, is your loan status, Pre-Approved or Pre-qualified? If only pre-qualified, have the loan go through underwriting and then that will make you a stronger buyer. Sometimes, if the buyer's agent reaches out to the listing agent, and asks what is most important to the sellers, you can structure that into the contract as well. If all else fails, check out new construction. Right now, builders have homes that they need to sell, and are willing to make deals. Good luck!
