Seller Objection Playbook
What to say when a seller pushes back. Stay calm, agree first, then give them a choice.
"Online estimates say it's worth more."
Those estimates assume a fully renovated house and a buyer with finance approved. I'm buying it as-is, with no repairs, fees or showings for you. If you'd prefer a higher price, my third option gets you closer to it.
"I'm in no rush."
That's great — it means you can choose the option that pays you the most. My seller-terms offer is built for people who aren't in a hurry.
"I have another cash offer."
Good to hear. Can I ask — is it confirmed with proof of funds and no inspection clauses? If it falls through, my offer is still here.
"That's way too low."
I understand. That number covers the repairs and risk I take on. Which part matters most to you — the price, the speed, or monthly income?
"I need to talk to my partner."
Of course. Would it help if I wrote all three options on one page so you can go through them together?
Golden rules
Listen more than you talk. Never argue about value. Always end with a question.
General education only — not financial or legal advice. Check local laws and speak to a professional before signing anything.
