The process of selling a home can include a certain amount of frustration, especially when a lowball offer is presented to the seller. A lowball offer is an offer significantly lower than the asking price and sometimes low enough to insult the seller. Lowball offers are, unfortunately, not uncommon in real estate.
Remember that even successful transactions can require several rounds of negotiation between:
- buyers
- sellers
- brokers
When responding to any offer, the seller has three options:
- accept the offer
- reject it
- make a counter-offer

Keep in mind that by making an offer, the buyer has demonstrated an interest in your property. So, unless you have other offers, it is usually never a good idea to reject an offer.
Also, price should not be the only consideration. Other important factors to consider are the closing date, the buyers, financing, and contingencies. Your realtor is an experienced negotiator working on your behalf and acting in your best interest. So seek and take their advice when it comes to drafting a counter-offer.
