The Under Bidder.

You’re selling your home.

‘It’s worth what someone will pay for it,’ your friends unhelpfully advise.

You put it on the market and don’t list a price.

You wait.

The first offer comes in.

It’s below what you were hoping for.

But it’s The Market.

Then a second offer - lower than the first.

You breathe a sigh of relief and want to hug them.

Because you’re off.

The lower of the two - the ‘under bidder’ is your hero.

You tell the under bidder that you’ve got another higher offer.

If they up their offer and it’s not enough - you tell them.

If they increase their offer and it’s higher than the first … you know the drill.

If they drop out - then at least you have comfort that the first bidder is The Market.

All because of the under bidder.
