I tried.

2/11/20 8:40pm

have you already tried a counter offer?

Yes. They're Chinese and haven't budged an inch from their original offer, even

$245,000 -($245,000 * 6%) = $230,300. No way... Not worth losing $300.

Does seller really pay 6%?

idacoug

Yes.

How is the breakdown? 3% buyer agent, 3% listing agent?

It's more like I think I could sell it for ~$236K FSBO in a few months, but even

No. Their realtor lied to them and told them my home was no longer on the market

2/11/20 8:37pm

If that was their initial offer I would consider countering for a bit more.

2/11/20 8:40pm

I just saw you countered already. Never mind.

2/11/20 8:42pm

Assuming you still have a mortgage, there are holding costs as well.

Based off the info you gave I would absolutely take the offer and run.
