For newer agents especially: your first counteroffer can feel like a confrontation. But great negotiators treat it as an opportunity to gather information.
Before responding, ask why the counter is structured that way. Is the seller anchored to a number, concerned about timing, or managing a contingency on their next move?
Understanding the “why” helps you craft a stronger response than reacting on instinct. This applies whether you're the agent, buyer, or seller reviewing the counteroffer.
