Compare the terms of the counteroffer to that of your original offer. Compare the financial and nonfinancial changes.

Step 3
Make changes to items that are unacceptable to you.
-
Step 4
Add any new items that come up as a result of the seller's counteroffer.

Step 5
Respond in a counter to the counteroffer, written as counteroffer number two. (The first response from the seller is counteroffer number one.)

Put a date of expiration on your counteroffer. Allow enough time for the seller to consider new items, but not too much time - typically 24 to 72 hours.
-
Step 7
Upon acceptance, open escrow and begin the loan process.
