A: I had a message on my phone that the buyers had responded to our counteroffer. B: Yes, the response just came through on the fax machine. A: Was the counteroffer acceptable to them? B: They made their own counteroffer of five thousand less than you proposed. A: Do you feel that their counteroffer is reasonable? B: Their offer is a good one. They also want to have a short escrow as they have already sold their home and are ready to move in. A: We can accommodate the buyer's desire for an escrow length of their choosing. B: They want their building inspector to approve the quality of the house. A: I would expect that to be the case and accept their counteroffer. B: I will contact the buyers immediately and let them know of your acceptance of their counteroffer. I am sure they will be excited!
