Making An Offer >How Much To Offer

When you make an offer on a house, your biggest decision is how much to offer. Although you don't want to pay more than you have to, it is sometimes hard to predict how much is "enough" for the seller.

Some sellers price their homes at their bottom line and may be unwilling to negotiate, unless the house has been on the market for a long time. Others build in a little room for negotiation. Some sellers are more motivated than others to get their homes sold. Whatever your situation, it is hard to know what sellers will do until they are presented with an offer.

If your offer is very low, your finances might look shaky, and asking the sellers to pick up closing costs might just result in a refusal of your offer. If your original proposal is unacceptable, the seller will usually make a counter offer. While sellers like to get their asking prices, good listing agents prepare them for the possibility of receiving offers that involve some compromises.

After working in Real Estate for several years, I have added Matt Harris as my Office/Marketing Manager. I've also brought on Dwayne Gregory (Listing & Buyer Specialist)to round out the team. Becoming a grandmother was decidedly one of my greatest achievements, but only served to fuel my passion for searching and finding the perfect home for my clients and their families. We cherish our clients because not only do they become our friends, they represent success in our professional life as well. We are humbled and greatly appreciate the opportunity to have you join this great group of people whom I have come to consider "My Team".
