Deal with Multiple Offers
Feeling overwhelmed with multiple offers on your home? While it’s a fantastic position to be in, the process can be nerve-wracking. Knox Property Experts, the leading real estate agency in Victoria, has you covered. We’ve put together this actionable guide to help you navigate this happy dilemma.
Assess the Situation
First thing’s first: don’t rush. Take a breather and assess the situation.
“Rushing into decisions will only leave room for regret later,” says Ray Sharma, a seasoned property expert with Knox Property Experts.
- Check Market Trends: Are properties in your area selling like hotcakes? Visit our listings to get an idea.
- Review the Offers: Look for differences in terms, contingencies, and closing timelines.
- Understand the Value: Use our property value estimates to gauge if the offers are reasonable.

Compare Offers
It’s not just about the highest bid. Other factors could be equally important. For example, some buyers might offer a faster closing time or fewer contingencies, which could be more advantageous for you.
- Financial Credentials: Are the buyers pre-approved for a loan? This is key in understanding their seriousness.
- Inspection Clauses: Fewer contingencies often mean a smoother transaction.
- Closing Time: A fast close may outweigh a higher offer that takes longer to conclude.
Negotiate Smartly
You’re not obliged to accept or reject an offer immediately. You can negotiate. So, don’t settle just yet.
- Counter-Offers: If you receive an offer close to what you’re looking for but not quite there, make a counter-offer.
- Talk to Your Agent: They can advise you on how to maximize your returns without scaring off potential buyers.
Negotiation can be tricky. We’ve covered this in our post about handling a failed sale, where you’ll find helpful tips and insights.
