AI summary
When selling your home, receiving an offer begins the negotiation process. You can decline a low offer, counter-offer, or accept a strong one, with all proposals documented on a sale and purchase agreement.
The negotiation strategy varies by sale method, including auction, tender, and deadline sale. Key points for negotiation often involve price, settlement date, chattels, and conditions like finance or building reports. Sellers can facilitate a smoother process by being proactive and negotiating shorter timeframes for conditions.
