When buying a home in Maryland, any agents will tell you to use escalation clauses or just drop all inspections (not recommended). But there are so many ways to be competitive. It starts from the moment your agent calls the listing agent and extendes through the offer decision itself. Believe it or not, your agent plays a pivotal role in whether the sellers feel comfortable accepting the offer, as well as which lender you choose. On top of that, my clients get a crafted list on how to be competitive when offering on a home, and we often hear that no other agents have used these terms before.
