This. Always respond to an offer as soon as you can, even if it's to tell them 'got it, but waiting for other offers before I accept/decline' and give them the time frame you'll make that decision. Nothing cheeses people off more than making them wait for replies, no matter if buyer or seller, other than no reply at all. You have no commitment until you decide to accept/reject, so better to let people know you reply quickly and explain your decisions than to make them wait while they shop elsewhere.

Should I respond right away to the potential buyer acknowledging the fact that I have seen the offer but that I would like to wait to see if I receive other offers.
Should I not contact the buyer and wait however long I choose even up to the full 7 days before simply accepting or rejecting the offer before the "Clock" expires?
I realize the buyer can cancel the offer as well if they choose so there's always that to factor in my decision of waiting, contacting, accepting or rejecting.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank-you in advance.]]> Fri, 14 Jan 2022 23:17:20 GMT
