A Disappointed Seller

A Disappointed Seller
Many home Sellers are disappointed by the first offer they receive.
As an example, when your Agent calls to say that he has an offer on your home, your adrenaline might start flowing profusely. You get really excited, but your happy bubble bursts when you are presented with the contract.
"It's just not enough!"
The Buyers asked for your brand new washer and dryer, and they also want to postpone the closing for another three months. You don't see how this could work...

Before rejecting any offer on your property - consider making a counter offer. Rarely does an offer look the way it would if you had written it yourself. Consider the good and bad points of the offer, and work with the two agents to find a middle ground that both, you and the Buyers can live with. You may have to go back and forth several times, and there will probably be compromises to be made on both sides. Unless you are lucky enough to be selling in a strong sellers' market, the Buyers will expect to do some bargaining. With a little patience, you and your agent can create a "win-win" situation for you and the Buyers.
