Buy Right Guide - Lesson 8

"Playing the Offer, Counter Offer Game and Winning!"

So you’ve found an Cedar City 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

Real Estate Sellers always counter-offer.

Real Estate Purchase Offer Tip #2

Understand that:

1. The Seller can be insulted and fail to respond.
   
2. The other Agent’s ego could get involved and convince the Seller not to respond.
   
3. The Seller could get defensive or hostile.
   
4. The Seller could be harder to negotiate with because of the initial offer.
   
5. 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:

1. What will it take to be the Seller’s best Buyer?
   
2. 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.
