What Happens Next? The Waiting Game…

Your offer is in! And you’re waiting for a response from the seller. As soon as we hear anything, we will reach out to you. But we also understand that it can be a stressful wait so you can always ask us for an update!

There are a few things that can happen in response to an offer:

1. Seller can accept your offer

2. Seller can decline your offer

3. Seller can counter offer your offer on one or more points such as

• Price

• Deposit amounts

• Dates for mortgage commitment, closing, etc.

• Any additional terms or inclusions they disagree with

4. Seller can ask for your highest and best offer (often due to multiple offers being received)

As your Buyer’s Agent, we will advocate and negotiate with the Listing Agent on your behalf. We’ll give you our advice and recommendations, but the decision on what to do is always in your hands!

You are always in control.

If all goes well and our offer is accepted, we’ll reach out to you right away about the next destination on the trip! You’ll also want to let your lender know your offer was accepted and get them a copy of your accepted offer and 1st deposit. Congratulations!!

If our offer is not accepted, we’ll provide you with any feedback we can get from the list agent on why our offer wasn't accepted and discuss how we could position our offer differently for the next property. Then we get back out there looking!
