A: Your office called and said that an offer came in on our house.
B: Yes, the offer came in less than an hour ago.
A: How good of an offer did we receive?
B: Their bid was two hundred eighty thousand dollars, and you said that you wanted three hundred thousand dollars. Their bid is a reasonable start.
A: We built a little leeway into the asking price, but I don’t want to accept less than two hundred ninety thousand dollars.
B: Sellers frequently make a counteroffer. Would you like to counteroffer two hundred ninety thousand dollars?
A: I think that a counteroffer would be wise at this point.
B: I will contact their agent right away with your counteroffer.
A: What should we do if they don’t like the counteroffer?
B: If the seller doesn’t want to accept your counteroffer, they can reject it or come up with a counteroffer of their own. |
