A buyer just made an offer on your home—now what? You’re about to negotiate thousands of dollars, contract terms, and legal obligations. One wrong move could cost you thousands.
Do You Have the Right Forms to Counter?
Most real estate transactions require state-specific legal forms that FSBO sellers don’t have access to. If you’re selling on your own, you may:
❌ Not know which form to use.
❌ Not understand the legal implications of countering incorrectly.
❌ Miss key details that could lock you into a bad deal.
If you’re not represented by Listed Simply, you’ll need to ask the buyer’s agent for the proper counteroffer form—or attempt to draft your own addendum. (We don’t recommend this.)
What You MUST Review Before Sending a Counter Offer
Most FSBO sellers only focus on price. That’s a huge mistake.
A strong counteroffer looks at everything beyond just price:
🔹 Earnest Money Deposit: Is the buyer putting in enough skin in the game?
🔹 Contingencies: Are there loopholes that let the buyer back out easily?
🔹 Closing Costs: Are you unknowingly paying thousands in unnecessary fees?
🔹 Inspection Terms: Could the buyer demand costly repairs?
🔹 Financing Details: Will the deal fall apart last minute?
🚨 FSBO Fact: Most FSBO sellers leave $5,000+ on the table simply because they don’t know how to counter effectively.
