Especially in this market- choose the most qualified buyer. A higher offer from a less qualified buyer could become a disaster........don't be a piggy. Cause we know what happens with little pigs, they get butchered. Sellers who are lucky and receive more than one offer should carefully consider all aspects of the offers before accepting the one with the highest price. Even if you receive only one offer and it's lower than your asking price, you might want to consider bending some on your price in exchange for a transaction that is likely to close.Ideally, you want a committed buyer who has a good credit score and financial resources, and who has been preapproved for a mortgage, as lenders have tightened their qualifying criteria considerably.
