| Accepting An Offer Is First Always Best?
Your home has been listed for just a few days, and your Realtor calls with great news. The people who looked at the house last night have come in with an offer to buy it! When the agents arrive to present the offer, you are excited and nervous. As they explain the price and terms, however, you feel that the price is a little too low and that the offer contains some terms that will be either expensive or inconvenient for you to meet. Should you try to work it out or wait for something better? Work it out! Often the first offer to come in is the best one. When a house is fresh on the market, there is usually a rush of activity and the buyers who see it during the first few days are those most likely to be the most interested. If you are fortunate enough to get an offer right away, you will probably be better off in the long run if you accept it or try to work out a compromise.
