When a buyer submits an offer, the seller can accept, reject, or counter on price, terms, or both. This can go back and forth until both parties agree. With a standard counteroffer, only one buyer is selected, giving them an exclusive opportunity to go under contract. Once both parties sign, the contract is active and escrow begins.
A multiple counteroffer is when the seller counters more than one buyer at the same time. Unlike a standard counteroffer, it is not binding even if a buyer agrees — the seller still has the final say. It essentially gives all selected buyers one last chance to put their best foot forward. Since no buyer knows the competing terms, the seller holds the leverage. Strong communication with the listing agent can make all the difference in standing out.
It only takes 2 minutes and makes a huge difference, Let's discuss how these differences will play out.
