Just helped my client purchase 25 Austin Dr #PH22 in Markham. We recently sold their detached home in Markham Village and was in search to downsize to a condo. We looked for units that were relatively bigger to help with the transition. We had visited 25 Austin Drive twice, once with my clients and second we brought in a contractor. My client really loved the place and was ready to place an offer at any time. I took this time to build a relationship with the seller agent providing him confidence with how serious my client was about purchasing.
There was another offer on the table when we placed in our offer. To ensure the property for my client, I suggested we go in strong with a firm offer with no conditions at the seller's asking price. With many other recent successful purchases in this condo I was very confident that no conditions were required making our offer even stronger. This definitely benefited us when trying to overcome the other offer on the table. I negotiated back and forth a few times with the agent. The negotiations went very smooth and it worked efficiently.
We went just 10k over asking price to outbid the other buyer and our offer was accepted at $760,000 for a 2 bedroom + 2 bath
