Negotiate with a plan.

Every offer compared on price, conditions and dates, so you pick the strongest one.

Last updated October 29, 2026

The 30-second answer

The best offer is the one most likely to close on terms that work for you. Brent lines every offer up side by side: price, deposit, conditions, condition dates and possession date, so you can see the strongest one, not just the biggest number.

What to compare

  • Price
  • Deposit size
  • Conditions, like financing and inspection, and how many days they have
  • Possession date
  • What’s included, like appliances

Counter offers

You can accept, reject or counter. A counter can change any term, not just the price. Brent helps you decide what to push on and what to give, based on what matters most to you.

Multiple offers

When more than one buyer is interested, Brent makes sure every buyer gets the same clear information and timeline, so you get each buyer’s best offer.

Example
After you say yes

The condition clock.

An accepted offer isn’t firm until the buyer removes their conditions in writing. Fewer days on the clock means less time for a deal to fall apart.

Questions

Negotiate with a plan: questions

Should I take the highest offer?

Not always. A slightly lower offer with fewer conditions or a better date can be the stronger deal, because it’s more likely to close.

What happens after I accept?

The buyer works on their conditions, like financing and inspection, by the dates in the contract. Once they remove them in writing, the sale is firm.
