The Dilemma: Assessing Competing Offers & how ViewMyChain can help

You’ve received three enticing offers on your listing—congratulations! But now comes the tough work of determining the strongest buyer who poses the least risk and gives you and the seller the greatest likelihood of a smooth sale. 

All three buyers are part of a chain, but critical questions arise: How long and complex is each chain? How far along is each deal? Will the timelines sync with the seller’s goal to close in 12 weeks? 

The Need for Reliable Insights 

The information at hand is too limited to properly evaluate the offers. Yes, you’ll get some intel from the buyers, but it’s not enough to rely on fully. You need to call the buyers’ agents—but they have the same restrictions you do and dutifully represent their own clients’ interests first. 

So how dependable is the insight they share? Can you avoid nasty surprises that crop up in week three post-offer? This process is undeniably frustrating, time-consuming, and leaves lingering doubts that you have the full picture. Yet your client will choose an offer based largely on your guidance. If it falls through, you’ll likely take the heat—along with a hit to your commission and potentially the listing itself, since the sellers had hinted about changing agents without quick results. 

Gathering Crucial Details 

Upon inspection, each chain has further links below. This necessitates even more calls and time invested trying to gather finely detailed updates from additional agents, since solicitors won’t speak to you directly. Hopefully the agents can provide the answers you need. 

This scenario is all too common—the endless calls to get the full story, having to trust you’re given the most up-to-date and precise status when in fact some doubt remains. “The other agents were helpful when I eventually reached them, but I still feel somewhat in the dark even though my seller expects a recommendation on which offer to accept.” 

The Solution: Chain Visibility and Guidance 

ViewMyChain helps agents overcome these universal frustrations—it’s more than a tool to just progress deals but to gain clarity on all chain links before an offer is even accepted, getting each sale off on the right foot. 

Simply input your buyer and seller details and whatever else you know about the chain, and ViewMyChain will automatically assemble links where connections exist. It presents back the property address, selling agent and their contact info, plus updates on key milestones for sales already underway. It can highlight potential delays, like searches taking longer than anticipated further down the chain that might upend your seller’s timeline. ViewMyChain even provides alerts around looming breaks in the chain. 

ViewMyChain gives agents back the control and visibility they require on entire chains. It reduces fall-throughs and accelerates transactions for a smoother process for everyone.  If you'd like to talk about how ViewMyChain might help your business please do get in touch.
