Buyer Step 8 - Navigating Negotiations

March 25, 2021

Step 8

It's home shopping time in the great North idaho

After masterfully presenting your offer to the seller on your behalf, it's a waiting game with three potential outcomes: rejection, a counteroffer, or the sweetest of all, acceptance. Let's delve into each scenario:


If the Seller Rejects Your Offer:


Experiencing rejection can be disheartening, especially when it comes to the home of your dreams. Reasons could include:


  • Low Offer Price: A Realtor® can guide you on a reasonable offer that aligns with market value.
  • Competing Offers: Another buyer might have outbid you.
  • Unrealistic Expectations: Sellers might have set an asking price based on their financial needs.


In case of rejection, fear not! We'll review the situation together, and we can assist you in revising the terms to submit a stronger, more attractive offer.

Facing a Counteroffer:


The seller might propose changes to terms like price, closing date, contingencies, or earnest money. Time is of the essence, as a counteroffer has an expiration date. Stay level-headed, we can guide you through a thoughtful and informed response.


Hooray, Your Offer is Accepted:


Pop the champagne! An accepted offer means you're now bound by a purchase-and-sale agreement.

Your journey through negotiations is a strategic dance, and with us by your side, we're ready to waltz through each step to turn your dream home into a reality. Cheers to the next chapter!


Note: In Idaho, the involvement of an attorney is not mandated for a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement. However, we recommend our clients engage their legal representatives in reviewing contracts and counteroffers. This proactive step ensures a thorough understanding of the legal aspects and safeguards the interests of all parties involved in the real estate transaction.
