I was showing a home to a referred client (someone I did not know) the other day. For our market, it was a low priced home. There were already offers on the home and the listing agent had called for highest and best offers the next morning. As we went through, I explained this to the buyers. We discussed the fact that with multiple offers, often the price was pushed over list price. They looked at me like I was crazy. I knew I was not getting through, so I go through it again. Still received this blank stare. They did not believe a bit of it, and since they were new referrals, I had no relationship with them to draw upon.
Maybe you are in the market for a home for the first time in a long time. It is important to work with an agent with experience and therefore, to be able to trust them. Their purpose is to lead you through the ever changing landscape of home purchasing that is our world today. It seems that everything has changed over the last few years. Having blinders on or ignoring the current environment will only lead to frustration in your road to home ownership.
Happy hunting!
