The investor is listening for a pulse, a passion. The first step to inspiring listeners is to discover what moves you and to identify the verse that makes your heart sing. Carmine Gallo is a speaker, communication advisor and author of Talk Like TED and The Storytellerâs Secret.
The typical home sold was on the market for 5 weeks. You may not have long to decide whether to accept the offer or to make a counteroffer. Most contracts give the home seller 48 hours or less in which to respond to the buyer. You don't have to accept the offer, especially if it differs from what you asked for in your listing agreement.
I primarily do fixed price listings, and give the buyers 3 days to pay from the time they purchase the item or the time I accept their offer. You can open an unpaid item case after 2 days, and the buyer has 4 more days after that to pay - that will get you the eBay final value fees back. I'm not sure how it would work with a second chance offer, though. To be honest, a second chance offer at this point likely isn't worth it.
