Why We Keep Taking Backup Offers—even After We're Under Contract 🌿

Hello, I’m Amanda Fiebig, the Broker and Owner of AF Realty Group, proudly serving Middle Georgia and the Robins Air Force Base community. With over 15 years of experience in real estate, I’ve seen it all—from smooth transactions to unexpected hurdles. That’s why I always recommend accepting backup offers, even after your home is under contract.

Once your home is under contract, you might assume the sale is a done deal, but in reality, about 10-12% of real estate deals fall through—often due to financing issues or inspection concerns. As someone deeply invested in helping families, especially military families relocating to Robins Air Force Base, I understand how important it is to keep the momentum going.

Accepting backup offers is not just about covering your bases—it’s about securing the best possible outcome for you. It ensures that if anything goes wrong with the first offer, you’re already lined up with a ready buyer. This means no re-listing, no hassle, and a faster, smoother closing process.

Whether you’re selling in Perry, Warner Robins, or anywhere across Middle Georgia, keeping your sale competitive is key. As a trusted local resource, I am here to guide you through every step of the process. From navigating potential pitfalls to offering strategic advice tailored to our market, my team and I are committed to delivering results.

With my extensive experience and deep ties to this community, I’m ready to be your go-to resource for all things real estate. If you have any questions about backup offers or need advice on securing your sale, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m here to help you make the most of your real estate journey!
