It's really interesting when someone writes a low offer and then is surprised if their offer is not accepted. So important for buyer's agents to be aware of the market and encourage their clients to put in an offer that the seller can consider seriously, wince the seller is not obligated to counter them. I know everyone wants a "good deal" but the only fireproof way to guarantee that you didn't pay too much for a house is to not get it at all. I always love your titles!

I was just in a situation where the seller had 6 offers. One of them was all cash, but it was, by far the lowest offer. Still, I encouraged her to counter everyone, since I was in a situation once where the person who originally had the lowest offer ended up coming back and getting the property. In this case, my seller decided not to listen to my advice and decided to simply take the highest offer and reject all of the others. For that very reason, I agree with you that if someone really wants a property, they need to put their best foot forward right from the start or they may miss the boat completely.

Without the ability to read minds, the seller can only judge the seriousness of a buyer by the offer they make. Brian Boisson Julie,

Great points.
