It’s a dream come true: you’ve received multiple offers on your Sonoma County home, and now you have to choose which one to accept.
Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy.
Each offer likely has its own benefits and drawbacks, so you have to weigh your options carefully.
Tips for Handling Multiple Offers
Your Realtor® will give you all of the offers as quickly as possible (Realtors are bound by a Code of Ethics and internal rules and regulations that require this). If you have questions, ask—it’s your Realtor’s job to make sure you understand the pros and cons of what people want to exchange for your home.
Before you make your choice, make sure that each offer is from someone who has a mortgage preapproval. It’s extremely disappointing (it’s almost tragic, really) when a seller declines several good offers only to find out that the one they want to accept cannot buy.
You can counteroffer anything you feel is necessary to make the transaction worthwhile, but make sure you talk to your Realtor about making the best choices. You could counteroffer your way out of all of the deals, so rely on your agent’s expertise in the Sonoma County market whenever possible.
