Negotiations
Negotiations on the sale of your property may prove to be extremely difficult. The most important element in the negotiations process is the offer. The offer is an offer to purchase your home, at a certain price, with certain specific terms.
There are three possible responses to an offer, including acceptance, refusal, and counter offer. Acceptance means that you agree to the offer and accept all the terms of the agreement. Refusal means that you totally reject the offer. Homeowners often make the mistake of rejecting the first offer they receive, believing many more will follow for more money only to find out the first offer was the best one. A third option is to make a counter-offer to a proposed contract. In a counter-offer, you accept some of the terms of the contract but change some of the details that you are unwilling to accept. The buyer may respond to the counter-offer by accepting it, rejecting it, or countering the counter offer. Should the buyer choose to counter the counter-offer, negotiations will continue until an offer is reached.
The experience of a Canterbury Realty Group Associate will significantly assist you during a negotiation. Especially in a cool market, where housing supply outweighs demand, a Canterbury Realty Group Associate will promote the sale of your home by listing it at an appropriate price with terms that will prove attractive to the buyer. Even in a hot housing market, where supply offsets demand, a Canterbury Realty Group Associate will help you sell at the highest possible price and with the best possible terms. |
