Negotiate Your Orlando Purchase Agreement Confidently

By
Real Estate Agent with QUEST REALTY SERVICES

When you receive an offer from a buyer in the Orlando , Fl area, take some time to carefully review the offer and respond confidently within the timeframe specified by the offer (typically a few days). Avoid the temptation to give a knee-jerk response such as taking offense at a lowball offer and rejecting it outright.

Instead, you could respond to a lowball offer with a counteroffer that sticks close to your original asking price. Conversely, don't accept an above-asking-price offer without reviewing all the terms of the offer to make sure the buyer isn't asking for a condition that you're not willing to accept. Beware, many will ask you to pay part or all of their closing costs.

Armando,

Good advice. I haven't received one above full price yet, but I'd love to see one.

Sound tips. I recently had an offer $5,000 above full price which was accepted. More than one buyer wanted the house. It worked out will for the seller.

Andrew- The above asking price usually want the seller to pay all their closing costs or money back at closing.

Derrick- Thanks for your comment!

GREAT advice!! Sometimes...it is easy to overlook the details...especially if you are starstruck by a higher than asking price offer. Blessings!
