THE MOST UNIQUE REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE!
I have my own home currently on the market. Experiencing what my Seller's go through is a good reminder that the process of selling a home can be stressful. Keeping it clean, ready for showings and disappointing offers all add to the stress level.
So, this past weekend we had a showing and the "client" looking was a fellow real estate agent. They currently live nearby on the same golf course in a home by the same builder! The homes are only a few streets apart.
The agent comes to see the house on Friday and by Friday evening is wanting to bring her husband by to see it. Being that we are both real estate agents, we agree to all meet Friday evening to sit down and discuss a potential offer. We agreed that with this situation, sitting down face to face was the only way to go.
By doing this, we were all able to relax a bit and just talk through the negotiation. It was a very pleasant experience. And, the good news is that we now have our home under contract! How awesome is that?
This is a great reminder that sometimes doing things in a different way can yield great results. Knowing the parties involved, the agents and the situation might call for doing a negotiation a bit differently at times. We can get stuck in our same old pattern of doing business.
This was a great lesson to me to assess each negotiation differently and look for ways to get to a win-win for all parties! I am that agent that will work creatively to get a deal done! Getting out of our comfort zone is sometimes the right thing to do!
Indeed this was a a unique real estate experience as well as a unique real estate transaction! Working together by all parties involved is a wonderful thing. Selling real estate is not rocket science! It takes cooperation and often times creativity!
