<prompt> Human: What should i do? The offer we put in was for list price, 5k in concessions which i thought was a pretty solid offer...Assistant: Put your best offer in. If the offer you gave was your best offer, then say it is your best offer. You cant control if someone else wants to buy the house for more than what you think it is worth to you.Human: Couldnt i just put an elevation clause on the contract saying i would pay 1k more than their highest offer, and then when it comes back, just pay the 100 bucks and back out of the contract if its too high?  <response>: You could if the seller will accept that. But as the seller, if I genuinely have multiple offers Ill probably not bother with such complexity and just ask Do you want the house or not? If you do, make your best offer.
