Redmond, Washington
Buy Right Guide - Lesson 8
"Playing the Offer, Counter
Offer Game and Winning!"
So you’ve found an Redmond Home that
you really like and are ready to make a serious offer. What
an exciting time in the Home Buying Process this is.
Before you do make a Purchase Offer though,
there are some things you should keep in mind. When coming
up with an offer and approaching the Seller, it is absolutely
critical to have effective communication between you, your
Real Estate Agent, and the Seller. It's really the key in
getting the best deal on the house that you want for the
price you want to buy it for.
Real Estate Purchase Offer Tip #1
Start low and come up later.
Real Estate Sellers always counter-offer.
Real Estate Purchase Offer Tip #2
Understand that:
- The Seller can be insulted and fail to respond.
- The other Agent’s ego could get involved and convince
the Seller not to respond.
- The Seller could get defensive or hostile.
- The Seller could be harder to negotiate with because
of the initial offer.
- Seller may not care if they sell it to you at all.
Real Estate Purchase Offer Tip #3
The key questions to ask when a Home Buyer is expecting a
Counter Offer coming in too low on their offer:
- What will it take to be the Seller’s best
Buyer?
- What will it take to avoid offending the Seller?
Keep these tips in mind when you reach the Purchase Offer
stage of your Real Estate Buying Process. They could literally
save you thousands of dollars on your home.
