But before reacting emotionally or rejecting the offer outright, it’s important to approach the situation with professionalism and strategy.

First, take a deep breath and try not to take the offer personally. Real estate is a business transaction, and buyers often come in low for a variety of reasons; they might be testing the waters, unaware of current market conditions, or simply hoping for a deal. Staying calm and objective puts you in a stronger position to respond. Not all lowball offers are created equal, so it’s essential to evaluate the offer carefully.
