The highest offer isn’t always the best offer. 🏡💰
Imagine you’re selling your home and two offers come in.
Offer A:
💵 $10,000 higher purchase price
💸 Requests an $8,000 credit
📋 Longer inspection window
🏦 Depends on the home appraising at the full price
Offer B:
💵 Lower purchase price
✨ Cleaner estimated net proceeds
🏦 Stronger financing documentation
📅 Timeline that works better for your move
🤝 Fewer opportunities for the transaction to fall apart
At first glance, Offer A might look like the obvious winner.
But once you look beyond that purchase price, the picture can change quickly.
The seller isn’t necessarily choosing “less money.”
They’re looking at price + net proceeds + financing + contingencies + timing + risk and deciding which offer makes the most sense as a whole.
That’s why reviewing offers should be about more than circling the biggest number.
Save this for offer day and ask your agent to walk you through your options side by side. 🔑
