Not all buyers are worth a counter offer!

July 1, 2010 by Gordon Corsie · Leave a Comment 

You know sometimes a buyer can write an offer that is so low that it upsets the hell out of a seller, really makes the listing agent mad also.

I know when this is likely when an agents just.. ‘emails in” an offer, without phone followup or confirmation the offer was received.

Worse, the offer usually is incomplete with errors, typos and boxes left unchecked.

What to do? JUST SAY NO.

Sometimes the best counter offer is no counter offer at all. If a price offered is so low that it can be described as ‘patently frivolous’,

there is no need to respond. Often times that will help a buyer and their ‘agent’ see sense and return with a package that is more realistic.

Don’t be afraid to be tough with these bottom feeders!
