Conversation 1: Have the owners come up with a counter-offer to my offer to buy their home yet?

2
The owners have counter-offered three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars. - Should I accept their offer?
-
3
There are two ways to respond. You can either come back with another offer or go with their counter-offer.
-
4
What if I make another offer, and they don't accept it? - No one else has made an offer, so you could make another offer if you want to do so.
-
5
I think that I would like to offer three hundred and thirty thousand dollars as a counter-offer.
-
6
OK, I will present your counter-offer to the owners tonight. - How long before I find out what their decision is?
-
7
By now, the owners probably have a pretty good idea of what they will accept. It will go quickly.

To your offer of three hundred and twenty thousand dollars, the owners have counter-offered three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars.

I think that maybe I should accept their offer. - You, of course, have two ways of responding. You can say yes or come up with another offer.

I want to make another offer, but I am afraid that they will decline and I will lose this house.

There is always a chance that someone could outbid you, but you could try one more offer if you like.

Can you tell me how long it will take them to get back to me? - I don't think that it will take as long as the response to the first offer.

In response to your offer, the sellers have decided to counter-offer three hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars.

That sounds pretty good to me, but I am not sure what to do. - You can accept this offer or decline it and come up with another offer.

If I make another offer and they refuse, then what? - Personally, I would consider making one more offer, but it is up to you to decide what to do.

I will contact the sellers with your current offer. - Do you think that this will move along fairly quickly?

Usually the response to the second offer moves along a bit more quickly than the first one.
