It's going to be a "We're having some fun now" kind of weekend with offers pouring in on a duplex we listed just days ago. The Seller had asked to put the now vacant 
showing units in order....top to bottom, clean, paint, carpet, flooring , fixtures....and get it ready for the market. We sent one of our crews and put them to work. The smell 
of fresh paint lingers and the stream of anxious buyers seems endless.
All good things must come to an end...we can't keep collecting offers forever...though it is kind of fun...So Saturday at noon the gong will sound and all the offers we have will be considered by the "Pickled tink" Seller.
The offer pile has promised to increase before tomorrow and we have an easily understood chart explaining the differences in each one that is being prepared for the Seller.
Yes ...the Seller is the result of BOTH our purple envelope monthly direct mail campaign AND the divorce part of our practice.
Like good agents, all ask that their offers be acknowledged in email...there are times when cybermonsters eat email ....and we do promptly let agents know that yes, their offer has been received.
The assumption in a vacant property is that the Seller would like a quick closing...a valid one...and of course, a realistic price. One enterprising agent called and asked, "How many of the offers you have received are cash ?" First of all, of course, we could not tell him....and secondly...money is money...with proof of funds or pre approval from a locally approved lender...it doesn't matter. We can't d
ivulge the nature of any other offer UNLESS it has an escalation clause and the SELLER chooses to give a Buyer who wishes to use an escalation clause, another offer received so that they may re-submit their "highest and best."
Another option may well be a multiple counter...each can be for a different reason if the Seller so chooses...closing dates, earnest money amount, purchase price...Sooo many choices of possibilities.
Our Seller is literally giddy with excitement...and truly that IS the best part of all of this !
If you or anyone you know is looking for Realtors who enjoy what they do and work for your highest and best interests as Sellers and Buyers...Call the Hansons, we are honored to be of service.
