Inside this guide 7 parts
Prepare before naming a price
Finish the material diligence, normalize profit, model downside, and write your walk-away price. List the evidence that most affects value and the open items that must become closing conditions.
If you cannot explain your number in a few sentences, the offer is not ready.
Make the offer easy to evaluate
State price, payment structure, included assets, inspection conditions, escrow process, target timeline, and expiration only if there is a genuine scheduling reason. Separate firm terms from questions.
Keep the explanation factual. You do not need to insult the asset or manufacture pressure.
Classify the response
A seller may accept, counter, ask for evidence, reject, or stop responding. Compare every counter with your model. Do not move your price simply because the seller moved theirs.
Sometimes the asking price is already below your walk-away limit. Sometimes no overlap exists. Both are normal outcomes.
