You just got an offer on your home!! Now what?

You just got an offer on your home.  YIKES!  Now what do you do?  Is the offer a good one, or not so good?  Does it really matter at this point?  Well, the most important thing is not to ignore the offer.  You have a choice to either counter the offer or ignore it.  DON'T IGNORE IT! Any offer is a good offer.  So if it isn't quite what you were hoping for, counter the offer.  Always as best as you possibly can come to a compromise with the buyer.  You want to sell and they want to buy.  Try to work it out somewhere in the middle.  Listen to the advise of your realtor.  Look at the stats for the area you live in.  What is the average price per square foot for the homes sold?  Is your offer close to this?  What condition is your home?  How many showings has it had?  Does this look like a solid buyer?  These are things to consider when you get an offer.  For more information on selling your home check out my website at http://www.getsalemrealestate.com/
