​

Receiving an offer is exciting—but reviewing it carefully is key to a successful sale. This is the moment when we shift from marketing your home to negotiating terms and protecting your interests. It's not just about the price; it’s about understanding the full picture and making sure it works for your goals.

​

What’s Included in an Offer:
Each offer will include several key components beyond just the purchase price:

• Purchase price the buyer is willing to pay

• Financing terms (cash or loan, down payment amount, lender info)

• Contingencies (inspection, appraisal, loan approval, sale of another property, etc.)

• Requested closing date and desired possession timeline

• Inclusions/exclusions (appliances, furniture, fixtures, etc.)

• Earnest money deposit and strength of buyer commitment

• Special requests or conditions (repairs, concessions, or credits)

​​

 Things to Consider Before Accepting:

• Is the offer price in line with market value and your expectations?

• How strong is the buyer’s financing or cash position?

• Are the contingencies reasonable or overly risky?

• Is the closing timeline realistic for your move or next purchase?

• Do any terms create unnecessary complications or added costs?

​​

We’ll walk through the offer together so you feel confident in every aspect of what you're accepting.

​

Counteroffers & Negotiations:

• If the offer isn’t quite right, we can submit a counteroffer—adjusting price, closing date, credits, or contingencies

• I’ll help you craft a response that keeps the deal moving while protecting your best interests

• Whether it’s a single offer or multiple, I’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each, helping you make a well-informed choice

​​

Multiple Offers? Even Better.

• In a competitive market, you may receive multiple offers—and I’ll help you navigate them strategically

• That might mean requesting highest and best offers, negotiating separately, or choosing the offer with the cleanest terms, not just the highest price

• My goal is to ensure you get the strongest offer overall, not just the one with the biggest number

​​

 Once You Accept:

• We’ll sign the purchase agreement and open escrow

• I’ll coordinate next steps with the buyer’s agent, lender, and escrow officer

• You can breathe a little easier—your home is now officially “under contract,” and we move forward toward closing!

​​

Accepting the right offer is about more than just saying “yes.” With my guidance, you’ll feel confident, informed, and fully supported as we transition into escrow.
