A low offer doesn’t automatically mean your real estate agent isn’t working hard for you.‼️

A low offer doesn’t automatically mean your real estate agent isn’t working hard for you.‼️ In New York, listing agents are generally required to present all offers to their sellers unless the seller has specifically instructed otherwise in writing. So yes, even the uncomfortable conversations still have to happen. And honestly? Sometimes submitting a lower offer is strategic. Markets shift. Properties sit longer than expected. Inspections uncover issues. Buyers test the waters. Negotiation is part of the process. It’s also important to remember that “best offer” doesn’t always mean highest price. Financing terms, contingencies, flexibility, closing timelines, and overall deal strength can matter just as much depending on the seller’s situation. A good agent’s job isn’t to magically control the outcome. It’s to advocate, communicate honestly, present opportunities, and negotiate the strongest deal possible for their client on either side of the transaction. So yes… sometimes you still have to walk in and present your case to the board of directors. 🤝🐴 🥰🎥 @hoofandhover #equestrianlifestyle #realestatefact #equestrianliving #equestrianrealestate #realestateagent #horses #equestrian #farm #barn #ranch #realestate #property #newyork
