Have you ever fallen in love with a home but given up hope because it was under contract? 


Andrew wants to move to Idaho Falls, and he found this dream home, but it is under contract. However, it’s not a lost cause! There’s always a shot, especially when you’re working with the Anderson Hicks Group. 


Things happen, and sometimes real estate deals fall apart. That is why we believe it is always worth a shot. The steps for trying to get a home that’s under contract are the same as they would be for a home that’s not under contract. First, you figure out the way you’re going to purchase the house beforehand. Then, you put in a regular written offer, just like normal, the only difference is that it is now a backup offer in the second position.


"There’s always hope when trying to get a home that’s already under contract."

Therefore, a home being under contract does not mean that it is no longer available. We can put a backup offer in and hope for the best because things happen. 


We don’t recommend showing up to a house with a bunch of cash in a briefcase. However, there are other methods that can help the process. If you are like Andrew and dreaming about a home that’s under contract, don’t give up hope! Call or email the Anderson Hicks Group today to see what we can do for you.
