Conversation 1: So how much did the buyers bid on our house? - Your asking price was three hundred thousand dollars. The potential buyers offered two hundred ninety thousand dollars.
-
2
That's a great offer! - Yes, it is a good offer. Before you accept, we should look at some details.
-
3
What else do we need to look at? - They want you to pay all closing costs. Of course, they are making the sale contingent on an inspection showing no major defects in the house.
-
4
I think that that sounds fair. - You could put in a counteroffer, but I know that these buyers also have their eye on another house down the street.
-
5
I definitely want to accept their offer. - Excellent decision! I will notify them immediately.

Conversation 2: I am so anxious to hear what the bid was on our house! - Remember that we set the asking price at three hundred thousand dollars. The first offer is two hundred ninety thousand dollars.
-

That's way better than I expected so early in the game! - The offer is definitely a good one, but let's make sure we look at the whole picture.
-
8
What are the other considerations? - They want you to pay for the inspection, but they want to pick out the inspector. If the house is defective, they will want out of the deal.
-
9
I don't have a problem with that. - You could make them a counteroffer, but I know that you need a timely sale.
-
10
Please notify the buyers that I have accepted their offer. - I think that you are making the right choice. I will phone the buyers right away!

Conversation 3: What did the buyers offer us on our house? - With the original asking price at three hundred thousand dollars, the buyers are willing to pay two hundred ninety thousand dollars.
-
12
I am really pleased with that offer. - I agree that the offer is in the ballpark. We need to consider everything before you accept.
-
13
Besides the selling price, what else is there to consider? - They want you to pay to have the cracks in the back wall fixed and a couple of the roof tiles replaced.
-
14
All of that is acceptable to me. - A counteroffer by you is always a possibility, but their price is very close to your asking price. You could risk losing the sale.
-
15
I wish to officially accept their offer. - This is a win-win situation for both you and the buyer. I am sure that you will both be happy with your decision.
