WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU RECEIVE AN OFFER
Congratulations! You've received an offer on your home! Depending on the activity on your property, we may suggest handling the offer in a few different ways:
Highest & Best Situation: showings are abundant, interest is high and there are multiple offers. We will set a deadline for the highest and best offer. This will require offers to be submitted by a certain date and time. All buyers will know this date and ensure their home showing is prior to, and agents will have their offer submitted accordingly. We will review all offers together and you will decide which offer is most appealing with us explaining every step of the way.

Accept/Counter/Reject: When an offer is received you have three options. Accept- meaning you are content with this offer, showings will stop and all contract items in agreeance will be met.
Counter- this would appeal to a person who is almost happy with what's been offered. We would submit a counter to the agent writing the offer for their clients, revising some contract items to your liking. We can counter as many times as both parties remain interested.
Reject- this option would be the route if terms are not going to meet your needs. We do not have to counter every offer, and if it doesn't seem to work at all, you would advise us that you're not interested in that offer and we would simply reject.
