Take The Offer

I’ve been meaning for a long while to write a post explaining why sellers are better off taking today’s lowball offer rather than “waiting for a better one”. Turns out I don’t have to write it; my partner Chris Butterworth did.

Sellers, have you received what seems like an insultingly low offer on your home for sale? First, read this. Then read this. Then decide what your goal really is – sell or hang on for many more years.

Once you’ve gone through these steps, your answer is easy. Take the offer or take it off the market.
