If your original offer to the vendor is not accepted, the vendor may counteroffer. A counteroffer typically modifies aspects of the original offer, such as the price or closing date. This allows negotiations to continue until both parties reach an agreement. The counteroffer process helps ensure that the terms are mutually acceptable before finalizing the sale.
