[speaker001:] I have never done this before and don 't know where to begin as far as making an offer on this house.
[speaker002:] Leave the details of making the offer up to me. What were you thinking you should offer?
[speaker001:] I absolutely must have this house and will pay three hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more.
[speaker002:] It is best to start a little low on the first bid to allow for a counter-offer. How about offering three hundred and twenty thousand dollars?
[speaker001:] I hope that the owners aren 't insulted by that offer.
[speaker002:] Your offering price is not out-of-line. The owners will either take it or make a counter-offer.
[speaker001:] Does it usually take very long for the owners to get back to you with an acceptance?
[speaker002:] It usually doesn 't take very long for owners to respond to an offer.
[speaker001:] Should I be in touch with my bank to tell them to get the loan papers ready?
[speaker002:] The only thing you should do now is relax. You already are pre-qualified for your loan.
