The Offer
All offers
should be put in writing.
The Counter Offer
When you accept an offer, a binding contract is formed. However,
if you give a counteroffer, you are rejecting the buyer's initial
offer but giving them a price and terms at which you would agree
to sell.
Understand that the buyer is not obligated to accept this counteroffer.
Therefore, don't counteroffer if the initial offer is acceptable
because a counteroffer gives the buyer a way out of the transaction.
You should make a counteroffer even if you feel the buyer's initial
offer is far from what you would like. You can make a counteroffer
appealing by making a small concession in one of the following areas:
price, personal property inclusion, time of possession, or loan
terms. Many people want to feel they have done all they could to
get the best price, and bargaining is part of the package.
