If through an agent in WA. Cash offer, no conditions, only valid 48 hours, real low if they counter offer with only a small drop in price. Walk away and try elsewhere. If they counter close I resubmit the original offer at same price etc. They either accept or you walk no use countering and farting around. Several times the agent has rang back months later and said they would accept. Forget it and move on.
If it is a private seller or someone you have contacted then be nice, chat discuss and see what they want maybe come up with deal like they can rent back until their house built, or give them a quick sale and quick settlement. Never fall in love with a property or play ego games. Never try anything illegal or cheat. Never offer what you cannot deliver. Have lines of finance etc ready to act quickly. WA we do not do auctions so different ball game.
