About this listen
When your offer isn’t accepted, one of the worst things you can do is fixate on the price the seller accepted from someone else.
Because here’s the truth:
You almost never know the full story behind why that offer won.
It’s not always about price.
It could be stronger financing.
Fewer contingencies.
A waived appraisal or inspection.
A flexible closing date.
A larger down payment.
Or simply a cleaner, safer deal for the seller.
So when people say, ‘They accepted $10,000 more than us,’ that number by itself doesn’t actually tell you anything meaningful. It just creates frustration, second-guessing, and emotional decisions on the next offer.
The only thing that matters is this:
Was your offer structured in the strongest way possible for that house and that seller at that moment?
That’s where strategy comes in.
Every home is different.
Every seller is different.
Every winning offer is different.
We don’t lose houses because of one number.
We lose houses because the overall package wasn’t the strongest one on the table.
And the goal is always to build the strongest package next time — not chase a mystery number you’ll never fully understand.” 🏡📄✨**
