Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

You may not know, but It does not need to take a trick to get your offer accepted these days. Many Home Buyers and their agents do not, as they pull out every trick to get their offer accepted. Many Buyers though are learning the hard way here in the Manchester NH area when their offers get rejected. Today is day 8 of my series of the SCARIEST Horror stories in Real Estate.

 

The top 30 collection of Horror Stories

Today's feature story:

 

#23. The top 5 collection of Horror Stories of "WHY you offer was rejected."

 

 

 

1. Your offer was Rejected because you offered half price on that mint condition home.

2. Your offer was rejected because the pre-qualification letter that was required with your offer looks like it was written by your child.

3. Your offer was rejected because you made it contingent on you mother seeing and approving the home within 14 days.

4. Your offer was rejected because you asked the Bank to rent this Foreclosed home so "you could see if you like it" before you purchased it,.

5. Your offer was rejected because your Buyer Agent "did not have time" to type the offer and texted it. Because of quick fingers or self correcting text, you have an offer on a HORSE instead of a HOUSE

 

IN SUMMARY the scariest part of any Real Estate transaction is not doing it right. These examples may go to the extreme, but they are all real life stories. You can sure learn from the mistakes of the past. It does not take magic to get your house sold, it takes a GOOD agent letting the seller know what to expect, and what they need to do to get the home sold. offer accepted. It simply takes writing a good offer. Please follow my short list of tips to assist you in getting your offer accepted.

The most critical part of Buying or Selling a home is the Agent/Broker you choose.
   

You deserve the BEST service when Buying or Selling a home

 

LEARN THIS ONE FACT:

One should know that..........

 

All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. 

 

   

 

 

It does not take magic to turn your "For Sale" sign into a "Sold" sign. It takes a full time Local Agent who specializes in Listing homes like yours.

Scott,  Low-Ball offers, verbal offers, crappily written offers, no supporting documents, the list goes on and on.  For the most part, all can be prevented by hiring a great agent who knows what it takes to get an offer accepted and is will to go the distance to get it done.

Hi Scott - A couple of those are new to me, but they'll all do a wonderful job of keeping a would-be buyer searching.
