How can I Make My Offer More Competitive? Being a buyer and assuming the duties of the city smoke inspection is a very creative way in making your offer more competitive in this crazy competitive market! 

It’s a creative way (creative means not many other people do it!) to make your offer stands out… And it is something that a buyer can do for relatively short money. 

In order to sell a house in the state of Massachusetts, the city fire company must come out and inspect the smoke detectors in the property to ensure they are of code. The inspection itself depends on the municipality and costs somewhere in the range of $30 to $50. 

The inspection itself is not the tough part. It can just be annoying! We work with a company that will do the inspection and guarantee that the inspection will pass. While not difficult, the inspection process is one of the most annoying steps in the transaction… Especially for the real estate agent! 

The Buyer Power Checklist breaks down an offer buying power into three different categories. A buyer's offer will either be in the 'Low', 'Average' or 'High' Buying Power category.
