I had a lead given to me this morning by our internet advisor. I called the lead, he did not know who we were and then I told him what it was and he said oh yes. He obviously been looking at all builders. He wanted to know if I had ready home or almost finished homes facing East. I said yes and then he asked me what the prices were I told him. He then said so your 405,000 home is not East facing and I said no. He then asked me for the bottom line on the home. I told him that I do not negotiate over the phone, he may not like our homes. He said he would only if I told him the bottom line and if he like the bottom line. I then told him I would be glad to show him our homes but I could not do that? Do you negotiate over the phone?
Yolanda,
People will try anything. And not I would not negotiate sight unseen. Happy Saturday. A

Nope. However, it is not unusual to have unrealistic requests.
I hope you are enjoying the weekend. We just returned from a day trip to Longwood Gardens.

Hi Yolanda - people ask all kinds of crazy things, but we don't need to get drawn into answering them! I glad you stood firm.

Yolanda it is the crazies that do that, I have received many calls similar to yours and the answer is once you look at it, then if your financial are in order then we can submit a "fair" offer:)Endre
p.s.: it I am being still pressured then I suggest they get their own agent period!

No I don't negotiate on unseen property. Want to try, let's put it in writing with a large earnest money deposit.

Good morning Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert ,
I was so glad to see that Kathy Streib featured this in her "Ah-Ha" moments for the week! This guy is crazy and not a serious buyer. If he can't come in and see the home to make a decision let someone else waste time with him. Good for you for holding your ground.

Good for you Yolanda. I don't negotiate at all without something in writing.

Hi Yolanda,
Negotiating over the phone on a house he hadn't seen? Kind of sounds fishy, doesn't it?

Yolanda, sounds like another tire kicker. I get a few calls from homeowners just asking what my fee is, without asking what I do for my commission. No, no phone negotiations.

Good morning Yolanda. I wouldn't negotiate with a stranger on the phone about anything.

My bottom line is $405,000. When do you want to see the house?

Well I'm not an agent but I would think negotiating over the phone would not be a smart thing to do.

Bottom line? Answer:
The seller may consider a full price. When would you like to see it?

Hi Yolanda
He doesn’t sound like a serious buyer. No haggling over the phone - come see the property and put it in writing.

I don't like that kind of call. We know it is going nowhere. You can't show features or sell like that.
