BEFORE YOU
REJECT OFFER
Suppose you receive an excellent offer to buy your home just one week after it has been placed on the market. Because you know an underpriced house sells quickly, you may be skeptical of a good offer which comes in promptly . It is human nature to argue that “if I received such a good offer after only one week, what would I get by waiting a while longer?” Maybe never an offer as good.
A true bargain, however, is usually snapped up within a day or two. After a week, you can assume that the market is operating normally. Experience has shown that the first offer is often the best one. This is because a new home on the market is exposed to a large group of potential buyers. Your best offer is likely to come from that group.
Be cautious, then, about rejecting a first offer out of hand. Agents find little comfort in saying, “I told you so” if you are waiting vainly three months later to equal that first proposal. Excellent, non-conditional offers come from serious buyers. Don’t expect them to be around for long.
