[speaker001:] I would like to make an offer on this house, but I don 't know much about the process.
[speaker002:] As your realtor, I am here to take care of this process. How much were you planning on offering?
[speaker001:] I really like the house and will pay the full asking price of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
[speaker002:] We want to leave ourselves some bargaining room. Let 's offer three hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
[speaker001:] That sounds good, but I don 't want this house to get away from me.
[speaker002:] The market is fairly down right now, so the offer is a realistic one.
[speaker001:] When will we know if they accept the offer?
[speaker002:] The owners usually respond to an offer within a few days.
[speaker001:] Should I be contacting my bank in the meantime?
[speaker002:] You are already pre-qualified for your loan, so you are in good shape.
