Question 28: How long can the seller take to respond to my offer?

Sellers generally have about 72 hours to respond to an offer, but this may vary by state. If a bank is selling a home, on the other hand, the response can take several days or weeks.

If you make an offer and the seller doesn’t respond at all, your offer was probably too low. Some sellers might not respond on purpose to send you a message that they were “offended” by your offer. The real estate consultant is required to inform the seller of all offers, but the seller is not required to respond.

If you do not get a response, you should ask your real estate consultant to contact the seller’s real estate consultant to ensure that the offer was presented, and to see if you can determine why there was no response.
