Here's how to handle a lowball offer.
How do you handle a lowball offer on your home?
Reject it outright? Send an angry response? 🤬✖️
Before you let emotions take over, remember—real estate is a negotiation game. A low offer doesn’t mean your home isn’t valuable; it just means the right buyer hasn’t come along yet.
Instead of reacting impulsively, here’s how to turn a lowball offer into an opportunity:
💡 Stay calm and evaluate the offer objectively.
💡 Counter strategically to keep negotiations open.
💡 Use market data to justify your price.
💡 Consider non-monetary perks that add value.
💡 Know when to walk away—and when to push back.
Don’t let a low offer derail your sale. Instead, learn how to negotiate like a pro in our latest blog post.
