An early offer deserves consideration, not an automatic yes or no.
That buyer may have been watching your neighborhood, waiting for a home like yours to become available. If the offer is close to your goals, it is worth exploring whether the price and terms can come together.
You should never accept an offer simply because it arrived first. But you should not dismiss it simply because you hope something better is coming.
The goal is to recognize genuine motivation and negotiate thoughtfully.
