Offer Discipline
A Better Offer Starts With Condition, Not Hope.
Visible issues, missing hardware, veneer problems, odor, swelling, drawer trouble, and old repairs should all make the offer more cautious.
What the seller tells you about storage, function, odor, repairs, and missing parts should directly affect the offer.
An opening offer should protect your room for labor, supplies, transport, selling fees, and the surprises that often appear after pickup.
