Know what you're looking for
From the right neighborhood, to the budget and the number of bedrooms, have a good idea of what you're looking for so you don't waste any time-yours, or your agents.
Act fast
Gone are the days when you could mull over a property, or visit ten homes only to circle back to the first one you saw. "With properties flying fast, if you see a place you like, put in an offer right away," recommends Litzner.
Be aggressive
If you see something you like, be sure to act not only fast, but smart. Putting in an offer may not be enough. "If you can buy in cash, this is more appealing to sellers," saysLitzner. "Don't have the cash? Another trend that is hot right now is writing a "love letter" to the sellers." Tell them exactly why you love their home, and tell them a bit about yourself and your family. New baby on the way? Go into detail about how their extra bedroom would be the perfect nursery, and how you can really see your child playing in their big back yard with that maple tree just perfect for a swing. "Make them see you as a person and not just a name on a page, and you have a better chance of winning them over," says Litzner.
