Key Takeaways:
Making an Offer on a Property: Tiffany and Toby kick off the episode by discussing how to make a strong, serious offer on a property.

They also explain why consulting with a solicitor early in the process is crucial to understanding your rights and obligations.
Signs Your Offer Is Being Considered: The hosts share four telltale signs that indicate your offer is being seriously considered by the seller, including requests for proof of funds and counteroffers. These indicators can help you gauge where you stand in the negotiation process.
Understanding the Cooling-Off Period: Delve into the complexities of the cooling-off period, a critical stage in the property buying process that allows you to back out of the deal under certain conditions. Tiffany and Toby explain how this period works, its timing, and why it's essential to have professional legal advice during this time.
Real-Life Case Study: Toby shares a real-life example of a client who made an offer on a property without having pre-approval, leading to a highly stressful and risky situation. The story underscores the importance of securing pre-approval before making an offer, as well as the potential consequences of not doing so.

From obtaining pre-approval to managing complex situations like extended cooling-off periods and special settlement conditions, Tiffany and Toby showcase how a broker's expertise can be the difference between a successful purchase and a lost deposit.
