11. Rejecting a Counteroffer


A: Mr. Smith, we received a counteroffer on your house.

B: For which property?

A: It's for the lot on 6th Avenue.

B: Okay, I've been waiting for this.

A: Yes, and I think it is a very good offer.

B: Okay, lay it on me.

A: The buyer upped his offer to $375,000.

B: Are you kidding me? That's still $7,500 below list.

A: I know, Mr. Smith, but the market is weak right now.

B: I don't care. I'm not losing money on this.

A: You won't be losing money, sir.

B: I don't care. I'm not selling at that price.
