Jay’s Real Estate Power Chat – Offer Acceptance Time

March 8, 2021 by RebeccaLook Leave a Comment

Power is in learning, Let’s chat, learn and get the power!

How much time for acceptance should I put in an offer?

Real Estate Offer Acceptance Time

On a real estate contract you can go short, medium or long depending on the situation. On a first offer to a newly listed property, agents will often put a short fuse (time for acceptance) on an agreement thinking if they can get a quick answer…bingo, a sale for them!  Sometimes it works but often the Seller looks at the time and feels: hurried, rushed, they want me to make an impulsive decision and the agent is pushy. Don’t do it or it will be… disadvantage buyer.

Alternatively, Short timetable is best on a counter offer, before you play other offers.

Medium time for acceptance is like 1 day. This is not offensive and is best used for offers when you are expecting a counter and want to move the sale along. The Seller is not offended.

Long time for acceptance is what I recommend. 2 days. Most buyers today are being recommended to go to their best offer. Might not and most cases will not get a counter, as discussed above. This offer plays proud and confident and is owner user friendly.

Dress you offer up for success, put some time in there and get the play. A good listing agent will wait at least 2 days to get everything on the table in.
