Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Help me explain the offers on {{property}} to my seller, {{seller}}, so that they can compare them on the terms that matter, see roughly what each would leave them with, understand their options and make the decision themselves before {{response_deadline}}.

The offers, with all terms (price, financing type, down payment, earnest money, contingencies and their deadlines, appraisal gap coverage, escalation clauses, closing date, seller credits, possession):
"""
{{offers}}
"""

The seller's costs for the net estimate (commission, closing costs, loan payoff, other), as given: {{seller_costs}}
What the seller has told me matters most (price, certainty, timing): {{seller_priorities}}
My recommendation, if I have one, or "none": {{my_recommendation}}
Local rules or brokerage policy on counteroffers and multiple offers: {{local_rules}}

Produce:
1. Summary: two sentences on how many offers there are and the main trade-off between them.
2. Comparison table: one column per offer, labeled Offer A, Offer B and so on, with rows for price, financing, down payment, earnest money, each contingency with its deadline, appraisal gap coverage, escalation terms, closing date, seller credits and estimated net to seller.
3. How each net figure was worked out: one line per offer showing price minus credits and the costs given, labeled as an estimate to confirm with the closing agent.
4. What the terms mean for risk: a short paragraph per offer in plain words, for example what a financing contingency allows the buyer to do.
5. The seller's options: accept one, counter one or more, ask all buyers for their best terms, or decline, each with what it means under the local rules given.
6. My recommendation, if I have one, labeled as mine, followed by a sentence that the decision is the seller's.

Keep everything outside the table under 450 words. The tone should be calm and even-handed, so the seller trusts that every offer was presented fairly.

Compare the offers on their terms only. Leave out buyers' names, photos, personal letters and anything that reveals who the buyers are or any protected characteristic, because a choice based on those would breach fair housing rules. Do not calculate figures the material does not support, such as how an escalation clause plays out without a verified competing price, and do not give legal or tax advice. If an offer is missing a term the table needs, write "not stated" in that cell and list it under "Questions for the buyers' agents".

Variables

{{property}}
The property, for example "the house on [street]".
{{seller}}
The seller's name.
{{response_deadline}}
When the seller must respond, for example "6 p.m. on Friday".
{{offers}}
Every offer's terms, from the offer documents or your summary of them, without buyers' personal letters.
{{seller_costs}}
The costs to subtract for the net estimate, with amounts: commission, closing costs, loan payoff, other.
{{seller_priorities}}
What the seller cares about most, for example "certainty of closing before their next purchase".
{{my_recommendation}}
Your recommendation and why, or "none".
{{local_rules}}
Your state or brokerage rules on multiple counteroffers and offer handling, or "not sure".

Why it works

  • What to avoid. Offers are compared on terms alone, with buyers' names, photos and letters left out, so the seller's choice cannot rest on who the buyers are.
  • What good looks like. Each net figure shows its arithmetic and is labeled an estimate, and the decision is stated to be the seller's.
  • If unsure. A term missing from an offer reads "not stated" and becomes a question for that buyer's agent instead of an assumption.
