Offer communication
When negotiating a property sale, clear and professional communication is key to ensuring both parties feel confident and respected. While phone calls are always an option for discussing counter-offers, we’ve noticed an increasing preference for text messaging. Written methods not only provide convenience but also create a record that you can refer back to if needed. Below is a templates to help you communicate your offer effectively while maintaining a professional tone.
Message to ensure all best and final offers are submitted:
Hi [Buyer’s First Name],
Thank you for submitting your offer on [proprety address]. We’ve had significant interest in this property, and as a result, we are asking all interested parties to submit their best and final offers.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Before finalising the contract, could you please confirm any inclusions you’d like to have incorporated?

Be Clear About Deadlines: Clearly specify when the counter-offer expires to avoid confusion or delays.
Highlight Unchanged Terms: Reassuring buyers that most terms remain intact can make the counter-offer feel less daunting.
