How do I handle competing offers?
Compare terms via offer management, consider self‑represented buyers for lower costs, and always include a seller condition if accepting a backup.
Managing Multiple Offers on the Bōde Platform
When you receive offers through the Bōde platform, you’ll be able to compare them directly:

Not all offers are created equal.
Make sure to review the terms and conditions of each offer carefully so you understand what each buyer is proposing—especially regarding financing, possession dates, inspections, and inclusions/exclusions.
Self-Represented Buyers = More Money in Your Pocket
If one of your offers comes from a self-represented buyer, you won't need to pay a buyer's agent commission.
This means:
- The buyer may offer slightly less
- You still take home more than with an agent-represented buyer
Best Practices for Managing Multiple Offers
- Let buyers know that you have received multiple offers
- Set a clear deadline for receiving their best and final offers
- You are not required to disclose pricing, but you may if you choose
Important Legal Reminder
Never accept two offers at the same time.
If you want to accept a backup offer, it must include this condition:
“The acceptance of this offer is subject to the collapse of the already accepted offer.”
This protects you from accidentally selling your home to two different buyers.
