  My name is Peggy Fenton and I am a realtor with EXIT HOMEVETS REALTY in Killeen, Texas. I am a native born Texan. I have been a military wife myself; therefore, I feel very comfortable when I say that I truly understand the relocation process and all that it involves. I have lived in the area since 1971, with the exception of our military moves. I have a marvelous, handsome 23-year-old son that is soon to graduate from college in horticultural engineering, thank goodness! I have been a member of the Fort Hood Area Board of Realtors for the past 14 years, which serves the surrounding cities of Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, Kempner, and Lampasas. I am an Associate Broker, a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Graduate Real Estate Institute (GRI), Certified Relocation Certified Specialist (CRRS), and have been a multimillion-dollar producer for the past 14 years. For those of you that like the Belton/Salado/Temple areas, I have just joined their board of realtors and can help you in those areas as well. My job is to do everything in my power to help make your move one that is essentially worry free. I can help make lodging reservations, provide you with educational, employment, and child-care information. I am here to provide you with absolutely outrageous service!

Accepting An Offer >Responding to Low Offers
The beginning of negotiations is usually the end of many months of hard work for the buyer or seller. The work ahead requires skill in order to maintain a strong position.
Sellers can lose their advantage if they do not counter an offer that a buyer has made. Even if the opening offer is beneath what the seller feels is reasonable, it is advisable for the seller to respond with a slight reduction from the asking price. The most important component in negotiating is good communication.
The best way to handle a low offer is to counter it with definite terms that are favorable to the seller. A counter offer has two advantages: 1) it keeps the buyer interested, and 2) it moves the negotiation forward and gives the buyer the opportunity to submit another offer that the seller is more likely to prefer.
