As I noted above this is not really true anymore. My agent told me flat out that sellers (read: seller's agents) are not impressed with all-cash offers anymore.

As long as you make a no-contingencies offer that's plenty good enough. They might ask if you have a 5-10% reserve just in case the appraisal comes in a bit low but in the three offers we made that never came up, even against other buyers offering all cash. Getting a mortgage approved was also easier than I expected; when you move into Jumbo territory and have more than 20% cash to put down the bank seems to assume if you were industrious enough, lucky enough, or connected enough to come up with $500k, $1m, or whatever cash then you're probably good for the loan. They also counted unvested RSUs as assets at a slight discount to the average stock price (I think it was the previous 90 day average?).
