The Counter Offer It is important to understand that a counter offer says “NO” to the initial offer, makes a new offer, and the roles of the parties reverse. The original offeror now has the option to accept or reject the counter offer.
A counter offer rejects the original offer, and the initial offer cannot be accepted after a counter offer is made. The party who made the original offer now becomes the offeree and can either accept the counter offer or reject it by making another counter offer or terminating negotiations altogether.
If the offer hasn't been executed by both sides, the seller can totally keep showing and negotiating other offers. If it has been executed by both parties, they can continue to entertain other offers as ``back up'' offers, in case the original offer dies for one reason or another.
