Is the First Offer Really the Best? A Story-Heavy Guide for Sellers⎥Ep. 2295
You’ve listed your property … the first offer comes in … but is it really the best one you’ll get?
In this episode, Ed and Andrew dig into the old real estate saying “the first offer is often the best” – and whether you should trust it or hold out for a higher price.
You’ll learn:
- When it makes sense to reject an early offer and wait for competition
- Whether the “first offer is best” rule is genuine wisdom or just agent pressure
- How one homeowner made an extra $400k by choosing to hold out
Ed and Andrew unpack real case studies and give you a practical framework to judge any offer confidently and avoid leaving money on the table.
