Using the DVC Sales Low Offer Tool

Last edited on July 14, 2025

The Low Offer Tool is a seller-controlled feature designed to block offers below a minimum amount you set. It’s an easy way to avoid lowball offers and focus on buyers who are genuinely interested in your contract.

As your broker, our job is to help you earn the highest return the market will support. This tool supports that goal by letting you set a minimum offer threshold — your “floor” — without shutting the door on qualified buyers who may still want to negotiate.

You can enable or update this setting anytime by logging into your account and clicking View Details for your active listing. Under Section 5, simply enter the lowest amount you'd be willing to review. Once set, buyers won’t be able to submit offers below that number.

It’s important to know: setting a minimum doesn’t mean you’ve agreed to accept that price. It just means you’re open to hearing from buyers who meet or exceed your threshold.

If someone attempts to submit an offer below your limit, they’ll receive this friendly message:

“You have made an offer below a price the seller is willing to receive. Please consider increasing your offer.”

This helps set expectations upfront and saves everyone time.

In your Profile page, Section G, you’ll see a record of any blocked offers, including the buyer’s ID number and their attempted offer. We don’t share personal information, but this gives you insight if the same buyer returns later with a new offer.

If you’re not sure what number to set, just ask. We can suggest a range based on market activity, your listing’s rank, and recent comparable sales.

Used correctly, the Low Offer Tool is a smart way to keep negotiations efficient — while protecting your bottom line.
