When You're Done Wiping Away The Tears Of Laughter - Can We Talk About The Offer?!
This is a great piece of advice that everyone who has real estate on the market or potentially ever going to consider being a seller ever again needs to hear!
It seems like anything goes in this market - from full price offers, to multiple offers to low ball offers and even lower than that offers! If you aren't crying tears of frustration - you are crying tears of laughter because that seems to just make it all better for the moment.
No matter - my best advice for anyone who gets an offer in this market - WORK WITH IT!
Laugh at it, pretend to throw it away, make fun of it - anything you want - but DO NOT *NOT* RESPOND to it! Why?
Because it may be the only offer you get!
How should you respond to offers that make you laugh?
· Set aside your emotions and take a look at everything - the price, the terms, etc.
· Make sure your agent sets their emotions aside as well. Having an agent with a positive attitude and willingness to work with offers goes such a long way toward success!
· Have your agent talk to the other agent - maybe they can work together to find a way to minimize the price gap.
· Review the comps again - what you priced your home at months ago may not apply now.
· At least make a counter offer - but try not to make a silly one - aim for one that you want the buyer to consider and accept.
If you don't at least try - you won't ever know!
