Can a financed buyer still compete?

A financed buyer can still compete against cash offers by strengthening the parts of an offer a seller actually weighs, such as a larger earnest money deposit, a shorter inspection period, or a preapproval already underwritten rather than just prequalified. Waiving or shortening a financing contingency, where the buyer is comfortable doing so, also narrows the gap with a cash buyer. An agent structures those terms around what the specific seller has said matters most.
