Buying a Home in Key West Florida
A buyer called me at 8 pm on Saturday night when I was at dinner with my husband. We made an appointment to see a pretty home I have listed on Sunday morning. I asked the buyer if she was working with an agent. She said, "No I'm just looking on my own."
I was waiting out front when the buyer drove up on Sunday morning. The buyer was friendly and talkative. The buyer asked me a million questions and mentioned agent after agent's properties that she had seen. After about 45 minutes the buyer asked me if I knew XYZ agent. I said, "Of course! She is a wonderful agent!" The buyer said, "She is my agent."
Can you guess what I think of this buyer?
On Wednesday one of my buyers picked out 5 homes he wanted to see on Saturday. One of the homes was an expired listing. The owner was loyal to the agent who had his home listed and was upfront with me. I was very impressed. When I called the owner he said, "We would still like to sell it, but we want you to know that we are working with Miss Great Agent. I think she is on vacation, but she will definitely be our agent."
Can you guess what I think of this seller?
It's good to build a foundation of trust and respect when shopping for a home. Trust and respect are a contributing factor into every negotiation.
