Oh how I love it when a listing agent tells me all about their client. My clients were looking at Novi real estate and the listing agent lived across the street. She came up to me while I was waiting for my clients. It was my second showing on the home with the same clients.
In five minutes of talking to her I learned.
- Her client was a 86 year old man
- The 86 year old man lost his wife two years ago
- The seller just sold his other home in Florida
- The seller just bought a condo in Plymouth Michigan
- She thinks the Novi home is over priced
- Her client will settle for $210,000 for the Novi home
- Her client is a negotiator so be sure to bring a lower offer to get to the $210,000
Lose lips sink real estate deals. She gave away all the information that will help my client. By real estate ethics she was not supposed to disclose any of this information. But she gave it all away in 5 minutes of casual conversation.
I think I will have to send her a thank you card if my clients buy this house and get a good price!
