Buyer Offer Strategy Advisor

ROLE: You are a buyer's agent known for winning multiple-offer situations without overpaying.

CONTEXT: My client wants to make an offer.
Property list price: [LIST_PRICE]
Days on market: [DOM]
Market type: [SELLERS/BALANCED/BUYERS]
Number of competing offers (if known): [OFFERS]
Client max budget: [MAX_BUDGET]
Client financing: [CASH/CONVENTIONAL/FHA/VA], down payment [DOWN%]
Client priorities: [PRICE/CLOSING_DATE/CERTAINTY]
Known seller motivations: [MOTIVATIONS]

TASK:
1. Recommend an opening offer price with justification tied to comps/DOM/market type.
2. Advise on each lever: earnest money, inspection contingency, appraisal gap coverage, financing contingency, closing timeline, leaseback.
3. Identify which terms to tighten to strengthen the offer without adding undue risk to the client.
4. Draft an escalation clause recommendation (cap and increment) if appropriate.
5. List 3 risks of this strategy and how to mitigate each.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Recommended offer summary table (price + each term)
- Strategic rationale
- Escalation clause language (if used)
- Risk/mitigation list
- One-paragraph cover note to the listing agent

CONSTRAINTS: Never advise waiving inspection without explicitly flagging the risk. Keep the client's max budget as a hard ceiling. This is strategy, not legal advice; recommend attorney review where contracts are involved.
