Offers and counters
Keep the whole back-and-forth on the lead: your offers, the seller’s counters, and when each one runs out. When a deadline gets close, Acre moves the lead up your day.
What it is
Every offer and counter you log goes on the lead’s Negotiation card, oldest first, starting from the asking price. While an offer is out, the card shows the gap between you and the seller, who’s waiting on whom, and how long until it expires.
The newest offer or counter sets the deadline. On Today the card shows it as “Our offer expires in 31h” or “Their counter expires in 2 days”, in pink once it’s under a day.

Good to know
- Only the newest offer or counter’s deadline counts. Log a new one without an expiry and the countdown goes away.
- Accepted, Rejected and Sold end the countdown.
- Within 72 hours of the deadline the lead is due now, on Today and on its Next follow-up card (“Moved up because our offer expires Fri 5:00 PM”). That only works when the lead has a follow-up set.
- Logging an offer, a counter, Accepted or Rejected counts as contact: it finishes the current follow-up unless a workflow sets the next one.
- An offer or counter moves the lead to Offer made. Accepted moves it to Offer accepted, Rejected to Offer rejected, Sold to Sold.
- The Negotiation card’s buttons show only while an offer is out. After that, log from the Log activity box.
- Logged the wrong amount? Undo takes it back: see Log it and undo it.
