An interesting call where a home did not sell because the seller told the agent to only submit reasonable offers. The agent then submitted no offers to the seller during their winter listing despite showing the home alot she said. The home owner searched the web for how to sell my home fast" and found my blog.
She started a discussion which grew into a debate, what is reasonable when it comes to making an offer?
I headed over to her Manchester NH Area home recently. She is ready to list again, but said she wants the perfect listing agreement. She gave many reasons why she did not want to even look at bad offers. Her past agent told her the perfect offer would be at full price without contingencies. We do not live in a perfect world and I sat up very straight ready to respond.
MY RESPONSE is that every offer should be submitted to the seller for review and a counter offer. An offer is what starts negotiating. If you wait for that perfect offer, you may never sell your home. Most buyers are getting a mortgage and nearly every buyer will want a home inspection.
This is where a good listing agent comes in. First I prepare the seller for selling. The seller should know what to expect. What happens when you list, how showings are set up and most important, to welcome all offers. I want to bang my head hearing an agent would discourage offers. It proves my point all listing agents are not equal.
Next is preparing your home for showings. Pricing the home correct. Negotiating offers, Being prepared for the inspection. Last having the listing agent there for each step of the selling process.
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS and the key to having a successful purchase of sale, can increase simply by choosing a better agent. The secret is, that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. I leave you with now infamous philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process.
