An offer is an offer! Work with it and don’t let it die. You got this!

I don’t know why you would frame it as “disrespectful” or insulted.” Sellers think it’s worth A. Buyer offered B. Market will decide. The fact that it’s not sold in 4 months may be a signal that A was in fact not the right price.

If your listing is truly priced correctly, I would respond along the lines of: "Thank you for showing, but this is not an offer the seller has any interest in. They are not countering because this is not a distress sale situation, so your buyers would need to come considerably to even get the sellers to the negotiating table."

Just want to clarify , thanks so much for the support and recommendations. It’s 6 acres of commercial land on a busy Main Street in a demanding location. but also the offer itself is not the main offensive part but it’s the weeks of negotiation and they verbally agreed to submit something higher and put something lower on paper after informing them sellers would decline anything lower than agreed upon. But yes that is the industry 😭😂

You can “ask” (aka list) a property at or near appraised value. However, buyers ultimately determine clearing prices in any negotiable transaction. They are the party bringing the funds $. Just attend any live auction, especially a foreclosure auction!

That’s not disrespectful. It’s business. You won’t know how desperate someone is until you try with a very aggressive offer.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this business it’s not to take anything to heart. You send them your counter and go from there.
