I would like to make an offer on this house, but I don't know much about the process.
As your realtor, I am here to take care of this process. How much were you planning on offering?
I really like the house and will pay the full asking price of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
We want to leave ourselves some bargaining room. Let's offer three hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
That sounds good, but I don't want this house to get away from me.
The market is fairly down right now, so the offer is a realistic one.
When will we know if they accept the offer?
The owners usually respond to an offer within a few days.
Should I be contacting my bank in the meantime?
You are already pre-qualified for your loan, so you are in good shape.
