Tip #24: Don't give yourself a deadline. Forcing yourself to sell by a certain date adds unnecessary pressure and puts you at a serious disadvantage in negotiations.
Tip #25: Don’t take a low offer personally. Make sure it spells out the offering price, adequate earnest money, amount of down payment, mortgage amount, a closing date and any special requests.
Tip #26: A really low offer may mean the buyer is not qualified. Ask how they arrived at their figure, then suggest their agent use comparables to establish what homes are going for in your neighborhood.
Tip #27: Don’t take a low ball offer seriously. This lets a buyer know that their first offer isn’t seen as a very serious one.
Tip #28: Make sure the contract is complete. The best way to avoid problems is to make sure that all terms, costs and responsibilities are spelled out in the contract of sale.
Tip #29: Don’t deviate from the contract: Resist the temptation to diverge from the contract. For example, if the buyer requests a move-in prior to closing, just say no. Now is not the time to take any chances of the deal falling through.
