It Might Be Negotiable

Good perspective on professionally handling low offers, especially as they are more common in this market.  

Hello and great information to share with us here in the Rain.  Sometime it does work.

My perspective always Margaret! If you don't have an offer you can't come to terms! What is the worst thing that can happen when making an offer? The worst thing is you just can't come to terms. You will never know unless you try!

I like this perspective - there is never an excuse to respond rudely (or not respond at all) to a well written offer 

Hello Margaret - understanding a local restate market means knowing the big picture as well as the smallest details.   All of it matters.  

Hi Margaret:

Wise advice as always.  You just never know what could be agreed on between the parties. Shutting the door by saying it's not negotiable doesn't make much "cents."

Margaret you are absolutely right.  Whether the offer is high or low it should get the same response if it is going to be rejected.  Thank you, BUT no thank you.

Also I have seen it more than once, when the first offer seems to be a low offer, and ends up being the highest offer received.

If it's been on the market long enough the sellers will certainly look at an offer. The worst that can happen would be they say no.

You are absolutely right - no offer is the insulting response. Getting an offer is the start to the process! Thank you is definitely the right response.
