For curated people, this is the right situation: your offer is perfect, skip the haggling, and and rather you can turn your attention to your and you can ponder your home.
And, on rare occasions, it occurs. Indeed, a number of home sellers accept any offer presented to them, and in 22180 in Fairfax County because of a variety of reasons.
But, homeowners are also known to reject offers in consideration of various rationale. Or make counteroffers. A counteroffer is more possible if you bid low, or when there are multiple offers.
If the seller counters, it's now the buyer's turn to either accept, continue negotiations or move on to the next house in Vienna.
In cases such as these, as your Realtor, I'm there to help when you reach out to me. I will be your trusted adviser to real estate negotiations in Northern Virginia, if you decide that it's best to squabble with the seller. By this I mean that I will use my experience and negotiating areas of focus as we craft a series of offers and counter-offers to help get you the ideal deal on your aspirational purchase. I have the experience you need.
But, you'll be a big part of the negotiation. I’ll help you understand the negotiating rules of thumb we will deploy. Those conventions will vary depending upon the home but in 22180 here are some basics we often come back.
In Fairfax County, here are rules of thumb every home hunter should see at the outset:
- Be Patient about Taking Possession of the HomeDepending on the seller’s timeline, being patient about the proposed possession date may butter them up a little. If the seller wants to remain in the house for a period of time after closing, you can consider pushing back the possession date. You could also have the seller pay rent for the period of time they remain in the house after closing, which would be done by drawing up a “rent-back” agreement.
- If you respond within 24 hours to a counteroffer, you are ensuring that you are not making room for another prospective buyer to make an offer on the same property. If you do not respond within 24 hours, the seller may sense reticence and this may cause them to withdraw the counteroffer before you respond to it.
-
Increase Your Earnest Money Deposit
Your earnest money deposit, or EMD, is the amount of money you put up front to prove to the seller you are serious about buying the house. Increasing your EMD shows the seller that you’re more serious about the sale. The EMD is usually 1% to 3% of the sales price of the home. If you offer 3% to 4%, the seller may be more likely to side with you.
