#Person1#: I would like to make an offer on this house, but I don't know much about the process.
#Person2#: As your realtor, I am here to take care of this process. How much were you planning on offering?
#Person1#: I really like the house and will pay the full asking price of three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
#Person2#: We want to leave ourselves some bargaining room. Let's offer three hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
#Person1#: That sounds good, but I don't want this house to get away from me.
#Person2#: The market is fairly down right now, so the offer is a realistic one.
#Person1#: When will we know if they accept the offer?
#Person2#: The owners usually respond to an offer within a few days.
#Person1#: Should I be contacting my bank in the meantime?
#Person2#: You are already pre-qualified for your loan, so you are in good shape.
