How do I negotiate multiple offers?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Review all offers carefully. Compare not just price but also contingencies, closing timeline, financing type, and earnest money. Your agent will present the offers and guide you through responding. You can accept the best offer, counter one or more, or ask for highest and best by a deadline.
Why It Matters
The highest price is not always the best offer. An offer with fewer contingencies and reliable financing may close faster and more smoothly.
