Accepting an Offer

Someone has decided your property is just right––and makes you an offer. When your Ashman-Mollere Realty Sales Professional conveys the offer to you, you’ll know whether the price the buyer has suggested is fair. It may be less than your asking price. Yet you don’t have to reply immediately if you’re not certain the price and terms are acceptable.

Consider the current real estate market: Are houses in your neighborhood selling quickly, slowly or not at all? Don’t assume that one offer will lead quickly to others. One predictable factor in the real estate market is that it’s totally unpredictable.

Finding a Compromise

If you and your potential buyer are far apart, you could offer a few concessions such as appliances or a security system, or make some improvements prior to closing.
