What do I do if the buyer offers less than the full asking price on my home?

With regards to selling your home, if the buyer offers less than the full asking price I would recommend, as hard as it is, to treat it as a business transaction, not personal. Oftentimes a seller could be quite insulted by the property price being offered. It's not worth the aggravation, quite frankly. That buyer may be making that offer because that's the max of what they can afford, or it could be because that's what the buyer feels the property is worth based on their analysis. Maybe their analysis is right, maybe it's wrong, but my point being, counter at your price for the house and hopefully the sides come together.
