The highest price is not always the strongest offer.
What to compare
- Price, and whether the appraisal is likely to support it
- Due diligence fee, which you keep if the buyer walks away
- Length of due diligence
- Financing and down payment
- Closing date and any request to rent back
- Contingencies, such as the sale of the buyer's current home
Multiple offers
Christopher can ask all buyers for their highest and best terms by a set deadline. You are then shown each offer side by side, with an estimated net for each. Offers are compared only on their terms.
