Agency
A NH listing agent who receives multiple offers simultaneously should advise the seller to:
AAutomatically accept the highest-priced offer
BCarefully review all offer terms—price, contingencies, financing, and closing date—to determine the best overall offer✓ Correct
CReject all offers and relist at a higher price
DAccept the first offer received regardless of price
Explanation
The best offer is not always the highest price. A seller's agent should advise the seller to evaluate all material terms: price, financing type (cash vs. financed), contingencies, inspection periods, and closing timeline. A slightly lower all-cash offer with no contingencies may be preferable to a higher financed offer with multiple contingencies.
