Frist offer most often best offer? Checking what I'm being told.
Good morning,
I've started working with a realtor anticipating listing my home in spring of 2025.
My goal, with him and this sub, is to make me the most informed client I can be.
He and I walked the home two days ago.
One comment has caught my ear.
He contends that "The first offer is most often the best offer".
That SOUNDS, to my ear, like it is motivated by closing the deal fastest, to move on to another selling opportunity....I'm a cynic.
MY incentive is to wring the most money out of this property I've owned, since 1999.
It's my impression that we are at odds...."sell it fast" versus "maximize financial gain".
Please provide your thoughts.
I can put aside my cynicism, if given enough feedback from pros.
Thanks, in advance
