Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers

The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.

Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.

The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.

Scott & Sam are the "real" in real estate. They have been just that for over 50 years (between them) for thousands of buyers and sellers in Vancouver and SW Washington. Maybe you can tell what they're really like if you click on the tab "About Us" - "Who We Are." They'll treat you with gentleness, kindness and humor, all at the same time. See what their customers say about them. (No they weren't paid to say those things!) After working many years in large companies, they started Scott Mikel & Associates, a LOCAL company, so they could choose which agents they associate with on a day-to-day basis, agents of ability and integrity and where they could have the technology for "virtual" real estate as needed. Scott and Sam have created a company with equal amounts of honesty, reliability and fun. They will treat you as family (if you wish) and w/ integrity and expertise at all times. Realtors are NOT all the same - some great, some not so great. Choose carefully.
