In my experience the first offer is the strongest one — and sellers are most tempted to turn down.

Here’s why I think that is. The buyers who show up first are usually the ones who were already looking, already pre-approved, already waiting for something like your house. They aren’t shopping. They’re ready. So when an offer comes in and it isn’t the number you hoped for, the move is almost never to reject it. The move is to counter it. A rejected offer walks. A countered offer keeps talking. Which is also why where you start matters more than any adjustment you make later. Price it where it belongs and you meet those ready buyers while they’re still paying attention. What’s been your experience — did you take the first offer or did you wait? Leave it below, I read all of them. ⭐ Kelsey June Earl | your lifelong friend in real estate Keller Williams South Valley 801-419-8917 | [email protected]
