In a buyer's market like we are seeing now, it is not uncommon for investors and buyers to feel all the leverage is theirs. This is not the case. Trulia recently posted a lengthy article on ways buyers kill deals by turning off the seller.
Multiple offers are happening, and they are happening in our area. Sellers who overhear buyers criticizing their home or the listing price may become difficult to work with or change their minds. Prices are reasonable, and there are steals out there as it is. An insulting lowball offer is another big mistake.
Now is a great time to be a smart buyer with prequalification in hand and a clear-eyed view of both the opportunity and the ettiquette needed for a successful transaction.
