A: I got a message on my machine that you received an offer on my house. B: Yes, the offer came in late last night. It was too late to call you. A: Is the offer as high as we were hoping for? B: They offered two hundred eighty thousand dollars, and you were asking three hundred thousand dollars. They are definitely in the ballpark. A: I was prepared to go a little lower, but more like two hundred ninety thousand dollars. B: Would you like to make a counteroffer of two hundred ninety thousand dollars? A: I definitely would like to make a counteroffer. B: I will FAX them the counteroffer right away. A: What if my counteroffer gets turned down? B: They have an option of making a counteroffer, or they can just reject your counteroffer.
