The best offer is rarely the biggest number. I compare financing strength, contingencies, earnest money, and the odds of actually closing on time, because a slightly lower offer that is certain to close usually beats a higher one that falls apart.
Under the standard Ohio contract, either side gets a three-day attorney review window after acceptance, and the financing and inspection contingencies give buyers defined windows to investigate and withdraw. Every one of those dates matters.
Whether you are the buyer or the seller, the goal is the same: a contract that protects your interests and a negotiation that gets there without collateral damage. I lay every offer out line by line and handle the back and forth with your bottom line protected.
