What Agents Don’t Tell You About the Offer Process

Ever feel like you’re stuck in no man’s land after making an
offer? That weird silence from the agent that probably leaves you
wondering—what’s next?


In this episode, we tackle exactly what happens between
submitting your offer and hearing back. It’s one of the most
frustrating parts of the home-buying process, and if you’ve ever
found yourself asking, “Do we counter again or is this a
one-and-done situation?”—you’re not alone.


We break down how skipping key steps—like reviewing the contract
or researching pricing—can throw you off track and leave you
scrambling while also talking about the emotional rollercoaster
of negotiations and why it’s critical to know if you’re bidding
against others or in a straight negotiation because believe us,
knowing the difference can save you a lot of
stress (and money). And then, we share
the go-to magic question that
every buyer needs to ask an agent to avoid misunderstandings.


So, if you want to avoid rookie mistakes, keep your cool during
negotiations, and handle the offer process like a seasoned pro,
this episode’s got you covered. (Stay with us till the end to
hear the most important question you should ask
that could make or break your deal.)
