The Comps-Anchor Counter Script

Recommended Spoken Script
"We appreciate your client's strong cash position and interest in this property. However, at $1.8M, that bid is 20% below recent neighborhood closed comps with identical square footage and finishes. Our sellers have countered at $2.15M with a 21-day escrow close, which represents exceptional value for this architectural build."
