I asked my client to check out how high needs to be a bid to at least get a counter offer - he got a counter only at $164K.

The seller can either accept your terms, reject them, or counter-offer terms of his own.

I just offered what I knew I could make work for me, then a counter offer, then acceptance.

Not one property, at least while I was there, had a counter offer. 40 people in the room an no bidders.

Thinking we found a hidden gem lost in the MLS, we quickly put in an offer, and requested 3 days of an inspection period to do a bit more investigation should our offer get accepted.With 24 hours, we received a counter-offer just a little higher than our offer price.

The house was purchased from his in-laws as an investment for this purpose, and so they sold it to him very cheap.In talking with an agent, they basically told me to make a low offer and hope the counter-offer was in the ballpark of what I find acceptable to pay.

You can then walk away or you can sign the disclosures and give your deposit and wait for the bank to present you with a counter offer.

I'd like to accept the counter-offer, but apparently it doesn't work that way with HUD (there is no "ACCEPT" button anywhere or any other obvious way to accept the counter-offer).There *IS* a way for me to resubmitted a new bid right from the counter-offer page.My guess is that it's not a true counter-offer whereby I have the option of accepting and locking up the property.

The cities are highly desirable, have beaches, and are quality places to live overall.That said, the offers I shot out were all 30-40% below market as the numbers didn't work any other way.Of the 7 offers, I got 3 replies from agents inquiring if we would come up on price and 2 counter offers (both were still way outside of my range of acceptable returns).

My offered Short Sale gets fully executed counter offer?
