AI summary
When selling your home, receiving an offer begins the negotiation process. You can decline a low offer, counter-offer a reasonable one, or accept a strong proposal, with all changes made in writing.
The negotiation strategy differs depending on the sale method, such as auction, tender, or deadline sale. Key areas for negotiation include price, settlement date, chattels, and conditions like finance or building reports. Work closely with your agent and lawyer to navigate this final stage successfully.
