Uh boy . . .
I reviewed an offer with a long-time, quite sophisticated client recently.
The offer itself is clean; offer price is reasonable, terms reasonable.
The seller client was ready to reject it outright, though.
ONE thing was off . . . right at the beginning.
The earnest deposit.
Relative to the offer price, it was noticeably low. WAY low.
And the seller could not get past it.
"It's just not a serious buyer!"
A weak earnest deposit, some may argue, is usually refundable anyway beyond a certain point . . . but it STILL shouts either 'don't have money' or 'not serious' . . .
and I'd say OKAY! Your deposit is refundable, so WHY NOT PUT ONE THAT COUNTS in at the beginning to get your offer accepted!
IT IS, after all, part of your offer!
Make the 'first impression' . . . impressive!

I'm impressed🎵
