The Florida real estate market is hot right now. Our Tampa seller agents, Orlando seller agents, and South Florida seller agents are seeing homes going under contract within 24 hours of listing. With real estate offers at an all-time high, more and more buyers are wanting to put in backup offers. A backup offer is an offer that is made on a home or piece of property that already has an offer in place. Sellers often accept backup offers as a contingency should their primary offer fall through. Here are some aspects to consider before accepting a backup offer.
Make Sure You Are Comfortable With The Price
You need to ensure you are comfortable with the backup offer before accepting it because should the primary deal fall through, your backup offer may contractually become your new primary offer.
You Can Accept More Than One Backup Offer
It has happened. A primary buyer does not qualify for the loan and the backup buyer falls through. You may accept as many backup offers as you wish, however, it is advisable that you are up front and honest with all interested parties as outlined below.
Be Honest and Up Front
If you have accepted multiple backup offers, be sure to advise them of where they stand. Let them know if there are any offers ahead of theirs before any paperwork is drawn up.

Get Rid of Large Mirrors
Large mirrors were popular back in the 1980s. Today, the trend is toward smaller, decorative mirrors with surrounding wall space.

Upgrade Fixtures
Dated sink and shower fixtures should be replaced with newer ones that not only look nice, but function better. Dual and/or rain showerheads are among the fixtures that are trending in contemporary design.
Add a Sink
Double sinks in both the owner’s suite as well as children’s bathrooms are particularity appealing to home buyers. This small upgrade can make a big difference.

Opening Up the Space
Kitchens in older homes are often behind walls. Modern kitchens are spacious and open.
Walk-in Pantry and Expanded Cabinet Storage
You can never have too much pantry or cabinet space! Often times, opening up the kitchen allows room to re-design the pantry and cabinets for additional storage.
Island
Kitchen islands are trending, particularly because they offer additional counter space for food prep.
Modern Appliances
Modern appliances with smart features are desired by many homeowners. In fact, when a kitchen does not have modern appliances, potential home buyers often ask for an appliance upgrade allowance.
