If you're bidding on a home anywhere in the world and you want to make sure that yours is one of the offers that stands above the rest then there are certainly things that you can do to help yourself out. Here are some tips that could help you become the winning bid for real estate in Texas or all the way across the world here in Africa.

When your bidding on most properties, your instincts are going to be to offer a price that is lower than asking to see if you can get a deal. When you're looking at buying something as expensive as a home in Nigeria or waterfront property, it is more than natural to want to save some money. You cannot think this way if you're going into a bidding war with other potential buyers. You should go through your finances and know exactly what you're able to afford for your top bid. If this is significantly higher than the asking price then you don't need to go all in right off the bat. But you should definitely be going in with a strong offer.

Get preapproved for your mortgage instead of just being prequalified. Include the documents saying that this has already happened with your offer. If you are currently selling your real estate and are lucky enough to already have a buyer for that deal then you should let the sellers know this as well. You want to show them that dealing with you is going to be an easy sale without any bumps in the road. All of this additional information is definitely going to set you apart from other potential buyers who might be offering close to the same amount.

Take out any unnecessary contingencies from your offer. You don't want to get crazy and take out clauses that make the deal contingent on the completion of a successful inspection or one that says that your loan needs to go through according to plan. But, you might want to check to see when the sellers were planning on moving so that you can coordinate on a closing date. And you don't need to ask for things like requesting that the sellers complete small repairs or pay for some of the closing costs. When people are trying to sell local properties, they will usually end up wanting to deal with the buyers that make the process as simple on them as possible if they have that option. They might even be willing to take a slightly lower price in favor of convenience.
