Frequently Asked Questions

13. What if my offer is rejected?

Answer: They often are! But don’t let that stop you. Now you begin negotiating. Your broker will help you. You may have to offer more money, but you may ask the seller to cover some or all of your closing costs or to make repairs that wouldn’t normally be expected. Often negotiations on a price will go back and forth several times before a deal is made. Just remember — don’t get so caught up in negotiations that you lose sight of what you really want and can afford!
