The price started at 120k and I counter-offered 90k to which the seller was going to accept.

This is the first home I've ever (possibly) bought and my first investment property.Any advice on how I should approach with my counteroffer? 

Ask the seller's agent to put their counter offer in writing.

I’m making a few assumptions: 1) at least some buyers and sellers will accept much less agent handholding than commonly assumed, 2) the primary value that agents add is a) pricing guidance and b) advising clients on offers and counter-offers, and 3) there’s no truly compelling reason why North America has the highest average commissions in the rich world.

So with the full fee we counter offered and that busted the buyers budget so they could not get the really cool upgrades the wife wanted..

The listing agreement would include within the commission property photos, a set number of “door-opener” tours, some hours of phone/Zoom consultation with a licensed agent to set a listing price and discuss offers, counter-offers, and closing mechanics.

The great thing is its on the counter offer and the buyers agent has to explain why the buyer should pay more than what the seller is offering.

Third property took our offer after a few counter offers.
