PRESENTATION

OF THE OFFER

You will probably hear first by telephone that a written offer has come in on your property. Because offers must be presented immediately, you might even be notified while out of town. This is a good reason to keep your agent appraised of your whereabouts if you are of the traveling kind.

Most homeowners react by immediately asking how much the buyers are prepared to pay. However, if there are several minor provisions or a major one included in the offer, don’t be put off if the agent would prefer to set up a time and place to discuss the offer with you personally and explain the details and financial elements. What may sound extremely good or bad over the phone may look a lot different when explained on paper.

If several offers come in, it is best to consider all at the same time. The first one signed by would-be buyers does not have any precedence. As long as you have not acted on any offer, you are free to consider all of them and respond to whichever one you choose.
