Evaluate offers
The highest price is not always the best offer. A strong offer is the one most likely to close, on terms that work for you. This table lets you compare up to three offers side by side, on price and on everything else that matters.
| Consideration | Offer A | Offer B | Offer C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | |||
| Cash / financing and lender | |||
| Down payment / deposit | |||
| Inspection period | |||
| Financing contingency | |||
| Appraisal / gap | |||
| Credits / repairs | |||
| Personal property | |||
| Closing / possession | |||
| Other contingencies | |||
| Estimated seller net | |||
| Strengths / concerns |
This worksheet is for discussion and comparison only. It does not replace the contract. We will review every offer together, and I will help you weigh the trade-offs before you respond.
It also helps to see the transaction from the buyer’s side. Read 20 Things to Know Before Buying a Home on Hawaiʻi Island, and browse the property search to see what buyers are comparing your home against.
Before You Move On
You should now be clear on the terms that matter most to you, so you can compare offers side by side on more than price. If a term’s effect on you is still fuzzy, we talk it through before any deadline.
