Dealing With Offers

Your Team Will Handle All the Details

When selling your property, few moments are more significant than receiving an offer. An offer means someone is interested in your property and has prepared a formal proposal to buy it.

An offer is a legal document that shows the price the buyer is proposing to pay, along with other critical details such as the requested closing date, financing terms, and any conditions like passing a home inspection or securing final mortgage approval.

The challenge isn’t just receiving an offer. It’s knowing whether that offer is solid, whether the buyer is qualified, and whether the terms protect your interests.

Experience That Protects You

With over 20 years of experience practicing real estate throughout Massachusetts, we know how to evaluate offers critically. We look beyond the price to assess the complete picture:

Buyer Qualification

  • We verify the buyer’s pre-approval credentials and lending terms
  • We assess the strength of their financing and likelihood of closing
  • We identify red flags that could jeopardize the transaction

Agent Assessment

  • We know agents throughout Boston and surrounding communities, the North Shore, the South Shore, Metro West, and Southeastern Massachusetts
  • We understand which agents have strong track records of closing deals efficiently
  • Our relationships and experience help us gauge the strength and seriousness of each offer

Terms Analysis

  • We closely examine financing contingencies, inspection periods, and closing timelines
  • We identify terms that create unnecessary risk for you as the seller
  • We advise on which conditions are reasonable and which should be negotiated

Risk Minimization

  • We structure counteroffers that strengthen your position while keeping buyers engaged
  • We negotiate terms that protect you from deals falling through
  • We manage timelines to keep the transaction moving forward

How We Work

When you receive an offer, we will:

  • Review the offer with you and explain everything clearly
  • Provide our professional assessment of the offer’s quality and the buyer’s credibility
  • Point out any concerns or potential problems we identify
  • Advise you on whether to accept the offer, reject it, or make a counteroffer
  • Prepare a strategic counteroffer, if necessary, that gets you a better deal without risking the sale
  • Skillfully negotiate with the buyer and their agent on your behalf
  • Prepare all necessary documents and coordinate with all parties to ensure a smooth transaction
  • Communicate with you throughout the entire process

Knowledge That Closes Deals

Our two decades in these markets mean we’ve seen every type of offer, every type of buyer, and every way deals can succeed or fail. This experience is what protects you from accepting weak offers or losing strong buyers through poor negotiation.

Selling your property for the best price with the strongest terms is our expertise.
