What Do You Do When You Receive An Offer

Navigating Offers: A Guide for Halifax Real Estate Sellers
Real estate transactions in Halifax involve a critical phase: negotiating offers. A real estate agent’s negotiation skills can significantly impact the outcome, potentially influencing your property’s sale by thousands of dollars. When faced with a buyer’s offer, it’s essential to navigate the negotiation process confidently, even with the assistance of your real estate agent.
After receiving an offer, you typically have three options: accept it, reject it, or make a counteroffer.

It’s Crucial To Take The Following Factors Into Account While Making Your Decision:
- How closely does the offer match your home’s asking price?
- Does the Buyer require financing?
- Did the Buyer request inspections?
- Does the Buyer have to sell their property first?
- Has the Buyer requested any repairs from you?
- Has the buyer requested any credits for renovations to the house?
- Does the deadline for submissions work with your schedule?
- Are there any other offers?
- Are you able to wait for other offers?
- What are the risks to you if you accept that offer?

You might be wondering how to demonstrate to your buyers that you are serious about the asking price of your home and any subsequent counter bids once you have thought about all of the aforementioned issues. If you have the courage, you might think about the following advice:
- By responding with your list price or a little less, you can take the initiative in the discussion.
- Reject the offer, don’t counter, and invite the buyer to resubmit. This action will demonstrate to serious purchasers that you are convinced the property is worth what you are asking for it while also requiring courage.
- Hold off on any bids until a specific day in an effort to start a bidding war.
