have been showing a lot of houses lately and about half the time i get the comment "i thin we should wait to buy " so i do my best to let them know that its a perfect time to buy with interest rates down and prices down ... but i am hitting a dead end with some of them .. so now i am turning to the awesome active rain community to ask .. what do you guys say? dont get me wrong i have changed a few minds but i love active rain and all the help that everyone gives and was curious what others say!! ...

 

this is a crazy real estate market out there right now and a time for all of us to come together and help each other succeed .... there is enough business out there for everyone to do well .. all you have to do is some hard work!! ... i recently was on the phone with a buyer who said can you show me a house on sat .. and i said of course .. they were shocked ... i mean shocked .. they said well no other realtor would show us on a sat they said mon - fri 9-6.... i was amazed .. are we bankers now???

Debbie, glad you came to the community :).  When they say they want to wait, the first thing is to say is "I certainly understand you may want to wait, what are you waiting for?"

They will inevitably say something like "prices falling..blah..blah, and I want it to wait for the bottom"

Then say "I understand, so what sign or condition will you notice that will tell you it's the bottom?"

They probably won't have answer for that one bcause no one really knows.  Wait for them to struggle to answer.  Once they struggle for a bit, empower them :)

"Would you like to offer less than list price so you can get that discount you were looking for?"

It's usually a fear based on price so that works.  I hope that helps.
