Low Ball Offer on Home in Angus
Most home sellers put a fair market value on their home when listing with a Realtor. You have discussed the positives and the negatives and set a price that is reasonable, then you get a Low Ball offer on your home. Many times sellers cannot get past their feelings and will simply reject a Low Ball offer.
Controlling your emotions can help you look at the positive side of receiving a low offer, unless it is completely ridiculous. The positive side is someone is interested in your home and now you can negotiate, which is happens in every Real Estate transaction.
When a low offer comes in, rather than “slamming the door” by counter offering a full listing price. Take the time to cool the emotions and treat the sale a pure business deal. By counter offering a small amount below listing price, you send the message that you know what your home is worth and will not be giving it away any time soon. More importantly, it shows you are open to negotiation.
Remember when you start negotiating, it’s not where you start that counts, it’s where you end up.
Having your home Pre-inspected by the Angus Home Inspector can allow you to identify and correct items that will come up when your house is sold. Fixing or identifying potential issues will prevent financial surprises when the buyer has your home inspected and comes back to the table looking at a price reduction or item replacement.
