“MAYBEE” I’ll Make an Offer on that Red Feather Lakes home and “MAYBEE” I won’t
After a home-for-sale is seen by prospective buyers, an automated form is sent to the showing agent requesting the prospect's feedback about whether the property showed well, about the condition of the interior and exterior, whether they feel the price is right and,
Is the buyer interested ? : Yes, No, or MAYBE.
I hate “MAYBEES”, I really do.
I have had very positive feedback on homes for sale in Livermore, CO and Red Feather Lakes, CO that reported that the buyer “May Be” interested.
The seller gets their hopes up and often nothing happens. I’ll take a YES or a NO, please don’t say MAYBE.
The last “MAYBEE” caused an unnecessary rush of adrenaline and then skedaddled back to California after deciding to wait another year to buy.
.
“Maybe” is really not a good answer. When I was a little kid, I didn’t want to hear my parents say “maybe we can go swimming” or “maybe we will go to the show” - what does “maybe” mean anyway?
Does it mean “it depends”? If so, it depends on what? What needs to happen to turn that maybe into a yes or a no?
One of my clients called last night, just hours after the showing to see if I’d heard anything from the showing agent. No, not yet.
The automated feedback report will be generated and hopefully I will hear something today. Hopefully their client is interested. Hopefully they are working on an offer even as I type this post!
This morning I’m waiting for the automated feedback report (better yet, an offer) to appear. How long should I wait before I call? We don’t want to seem too anxious, after all!
Of course, we want a “YES” – not a “NO” and definitely not a “MAYBE”.
I’ve concluded that “Maybe” doesn't really mean anything other than “Maybe I’ll make an Offer on that Red Feather Lakes home” or ”Maybe I won’t".
