Frequently, the summary of your offer is sufficient for the bank to receive in order for them to give a counteroffer.

IMHO, it sounds like you already have the basis for your counter offer.

However , we recently put a bid on a house that has been listed for a while and we offered 14k less - suddenly , we are the middle of counter offers and are further along with this property than any others we have approached so far. .

no counter offer, say $450 per....i guess they weren't that awesome

I made an offer for $20k, which was rejected by the seller without a counter offer.

In addition to the above posts, an additional material difference in the HUD home disposition process is that HUD now provides a counter offer on rejected bids.

What was the BPO value (if known) or lender's counteroffer?

You can refuse to name a price, but ultimately, if they don't want to make an offer until you do, the onus is on you as the seller to name a price that will allow the deal to get done without any negotiation.So, if I asked how much you wanted, and you flat-out refused to give me a number, I would likely offer you $1, and then see what your counter-offer was.This is just my opinion (and it's just an opinion), but I used to negotiate professionally, so I have some experience...

Those need to be notarized, so you have them notarized and fedex them overnight service.Escrow compamnies do it all the time, so they won't even turn an eyelash.I wouldn't bother to have any of the offers and counter offers notarized.

If not, what would a more seasoned reo investor take out or add in to get more counter offers?
