🏡 Lowball? No Thanks! 4 Steps to Smarter Offers That Stick (Part 2)
2025 is your year to close bigger, better, and faster.

🌘 Good evening, real estate agents! Lowball offers? No thanks. Earlier we tackled the psychology behind why buyers lowball, their qualifications, and how to use comps to ground your strategy.
Tonight, in Part 2, we’re getting tactical—educating buyers, preparing stronger offers, and guiding every client toward deals that actually stick.
Remember that losing repetitively as a result of lowballing is NOT a strategy.
If you’re ready to stop watching contracts die and start turning ‘no’ into ‘closed,’ this episode is for you. 👇️

4️⃣ Educate Your Buyer Clients on the Market 📚
Walk them through the data + explanations so they grasp why certain offers will be dismissed.
Script Example:
“Mr./Mrs. Buyer, in this neighborhood sellers are typically only negotiating down about 1–2%. Our comps show similar homes just sold at 99–100% of list in the last 30 days. Your proposed offer at 10–11% below list is likely to be rejected or ignored. If you want a shot at this home, we need to align closer to list. Do you want to risk waiting, or do we adjust to compete?”
📊 Know your local stats and facts. Use Altos Research, List Reports, your own MLS reports, and the most recent comparables to support your offers.

5️⃣ Prepare the Offer the Smart Way 📝
Help your buyers deliver offers that respect the market — whether they’re aligned with list, slightly under, or using comps when the listing seems high.
When warranted, include a comparable sale packet with your offer.
Always Prequalify 100% before even showing properties to buyers.
Always use the Buyer Presentation in Premier Coaching or EthicalRealEstateProfessional.com.
Record a short video or provide a narrative explanation for the listing agent highlighting comps and logic.
If the buyer insists on unreasonable offers without data, evaluate whether they’re serious clients.
Redirect lowballers to longer-DOM properties or stale listings, where discounts are more realistic.
👩💼 Note to Listing Agents
When you receive what looks like a lowball:
Use comps and sale-to-list data to assess whether the property is overpriced.
Don’t dismiss every low offer — sometimes they’re justified. Sometimes they intend to negotiate and it’s just a starting point.
Be sensitive to other cultures and their expectations to negotiate.
Counter when the buyer’s offer is grounded in data rather than assumptions.
Never be the one who kills the deal. Counter everything!
In a shifting market, the agents who adapt fast are the ones who win.
