Question: My son made an offer on a house. If there are multiple offers, how are they handled in a fair manner? If another buyer offers more money, will my son have the chance to up his bid?
Answer: With multiple offers, the owner (or banks if it’s a foreclosure) usually counter back all parties and ask them to submit their highest and best offer by a particular date and time, giving your son another chance. However, if there’s a clear distinction between the offers, i.e. ‘one is all cash, at or above asking price’ vs a less than asking price, fha loan, perceived as a weaker offer, the owner may very well pick the best offer without countering the other ones. Your son’s agent should be in contact with the listing agent indicating that you would rather see a counter offer than a rejection. But in all cases, if one offer clearly stands out considerably from the rest, that buyer usually ends up getting their offer accepted.
