If you've fallen in love with a home, made the best offer and the seller won't cooperate, you might find yourself trying to figure out what to do.

There's no procedure or decree that says the seller must accept your offer, no matter how great it is relative to the market. Unlike a retail business that prices products based on inventory levels and market conditions, each seller is independent and has different selling motivations. Here are three ways to cope with a seller who's keeping you from your dream home.

1. Don't waste time questioning the seller

It's easy to ingest over the possible reasons why the seller rejected your offer. You could spend hours looking up a home's sales history and tax records, then combining that data with the information you received from the sellers' agent about their situation or motivations. Don't do it. Trying to figure out the seller won't get you anywhere. Worse, the time spent attempting to get inside the head of someone you don't know is precious time spent away from your home search. If the sellers "just aren't that into you," it may be time to move on. For all you know, like that elusive crush, they will come back once you pull away. Just don't count on it.

2. Put your best proposal on the table

Maybe you haven't offered the highest you can afford yet, wanting to keep some room for compromise. If you find that the sellers aren't responding positively to your offers so far, it could be a sign that they are not motivated to sell. Just because you're a real and active buyer wanting to purchase their house doesn't mean they have to accept your offer. If they're not answering, or they come back with a not-so-great counteroffer, cut to the chase. Make your maximum offer immediately and put it in writing. Then, if they still don't respond, start looking elsewhere.

3. Move On to the Next Home

Because purchasing a home can be both practical and emotional, it's easy for a buyer (particularly a new one) to get hung up on one house and have trouble moving on. But this can only keep you from getting the house you want. To be an understanding buyer, consider each experience and the lessons learned. Draw up unrealistic or unmotivated sellers to experience. Use that to your advantage the next time you make an offer. At the closing table weeks or months down the road, you'll likely look back on that home you "had to have" and realize that the home you ended up with is much better in the long run. Never forget that, no matter how much you believe this one was meant for you, there will always be another great house.

When it comes time to sell your home, whether you've lived there for three years or 20, you need to see it as a merchandise for sale. And just like an item on a store shelf, you want your home to stand out from the competition.

Of course, your feelings and emotions about your home -- and all of the memories you made there, may make it difficult to detach and view your home as a product. But sellers who quickly transition away from the emotional connection and into investment mode will reap the financial benefits many times over. Homes that go into contract quicker and with few (if any) price reductions ultimately sell for more money. And isn't that every seller's goal?

Homes that sell quickly probably have many of the features that today's buyers find desirable.. Smart retailers try to understand better what consumers want, and then deliver to them. Home sellers should do the same.

Do Some Renovations

When you're preparing to sell your home, consider small renovations, updates, cleaning and even some light staging. many sellers make significant upgrades to their home before listing, leaving them to question if they actually want to move. Today's buyers look for move-in ready and turn-key homes. The more bells and whistles, the better.

Focus on Kitchens and Baths

It's a pretty well-established fact that kitchens and baths sell a home. If your kitchen or bathroom is tired or outdated, consider modest upgrades that pack a punch. Painting cabinets white gives the kitchen a clean and fresh look. Consider new stone counter tops like quartz or granite. And replace old faucets with shiny new ones. Spending a modest sum can reap incredible benefits -- tenfold.

If you got it, show it off.

Research shows that certain features to help sell home faster, Even if you don't have time for renovations, you might luck out and have some of the items on buyers lists. For example, subway tiles in the kitchen or bathroom barn doors, and craftsman's features are proven to help homes sell faster. If your home has these, play them up, because today's buyers want them.

Just like companies figure out the next hot car, handbag or shoe for their respective industries, smart home sellers must know their audience and market their product to meet customer demand. When it comes time to sell, consider your buyer, and try hard to make your home into a top-notch product.
