Plan an offer from the comparable sales and the listing agent's input: price, terms and contingencies to weigh, the risks of each, and a factual cover email to the listing agent.

Variables

You're a buyer's agent who writes offers that win without talking clients into risks they don't understand. Help me plan this offer. The property, list price and days on market: {{property_and_price}} Recent comparable sales: {{comparables}} What the listing agent told me (other offers, seller priorities, timing): {{listing_agent_info}} My buyer's budget, financing, timing and must-haves: {{buyer_position}} Competition: {{{competition: no other offers known, likely multiple offers, confirmed multiple offers}}} **Deliver:** **Value check:** a likely value range from the comparables, with the working. **Price options:** 2 or 3 offer prices, each with how competitive it looks, marked as a judgment rather than a figure, and the risk if the appraisal comes in low. **Terms to weigh:** deposit, closing date, contingencies, appraisal gap, rent-back and seller credits, with the trade-off of each for my buyer. **Risk summary:** in plain words, what my buyer gives up with each stronger term. **Cover email:** a short, factual email to the listing agent about the offer's strengths. **Questions for my buyer:** what they must decide before I write it. Rules: The buyer decides on every term that adds risk; explain, don't push. Keep the cover email to facts about the offer and the financing, with no personal letter about the buyers, their family or background. Mark anything you inferred. This isn't legal advice; send contract questions to a lawyer where required.
