You just found the perfect home in Plainfield, BUT the seller has refused your offer!

Dont worry, most offers are not accepted immediately.  Its not uncommon for buyers and sellers to go back and forth two, three, even four or five times until an agreement is reached. 

If after quite a few rounds of negotiation you are still both pretty far from where each side wants to be, all may not be lost. You used the closed comps that your Plainfield Realtor pulled off of the MLS to make your decision, and it just doesnt make sense to pay what they are asking for the house, so, maybe you can use them to convince the sellers of that too!

Did you know that in Illinois the buyers agent can request to present the offer to the sellers on behalf of the buyers personally instead of through the listing agent?  There are many reasons why you would want to do this, (Ill save that for another post), but one of the main reasons is to present the offer using things like MLS closed comps.

While many Naperville and Plainfiled home buyers are keenly aware of the current market conditions on a weekly basis, many sellers have a sit and wait mentality once they list their property with an Illinois Realtor or real estate brokerage.  Listing agents usually suggest a market price range for their Naperville and Plainfield sellers, but ultimately do not decide what to list the property at, which leaves the market open to many over-priced Plainfield and Naperville properties.
