When time is important



Your Realtor has just brought you an offer on your home, and you want to think about it. (OK, you have two seconds, just kidding). You would like your agent to contact the other people who have shown an interest in your home before you respond (are you kidding me, those days are long gone). Whether your home has been listed two days or two years, there is always a temptation to hold out for a bigger offer, and sometimes sellers feel a lot of resistance to making a decision, (rule of thumb-the first offer is usually the best offer).
Some buyers will include a deadline for getting a response to their offer, but even if there isn't a deadline, you should reply to a buyer's offer quickly. The period of time between submitting an offer and receiving a response is a crucial one because the buyers are free to withdraw from the transaction.
Even though they are mentally landscaping your yard and arranging their things in your rooms, they may be afraid that they will get the house and, therefore, are extremely vulnerable to buyers' remorse. So, when you make a commitment, stick to it. (Makes for a good character trait to aquire, if you don't have it already.)
