You get your first offer and your gut says, “Let’s wait for something better.” But here’s a little insider wisdom: the first offer is often the best one.
Here’s why:
📈 It’s usually from the most serious buyers
They’ve been looking, they’re pre-approved, and they’re ready to go. They’re not tire-kickers — they’re decision-makers.
⏳ Market momentum matters
Homes are hottest when they’re freshly listed. Interest cools as days on market tick up. That first week? Prime real estate (literally).
💰 You lose leverage with time
The longer your home sits, the more buyers start to wonder what’s “wrong” with it — even if the answer is nothing.
🔍 It doesn’t mean you can’t negotiate
Accepting an early offer doesn’t mean caving. I’ll help you counter strategically if needed — but don’t overlook a strong opener.
Selling your home isn’t just emotional — it’s strategic. Let’s make sure your first offer is also your best outcome.
