After many years in the business, it is hard to get surprised at anything. However, this past week I had two surprises.
The first one was a house on acreage that I tried to show about a year and a half ago. I could not get the owner to allow me to show the home to a qualified potential buyer because she had decided to take the home off the market and rent it. I drove by several times during the next few months and there were people living in the house. Too bad because it was exactly what my buyers had ordered. We found something else though.
Last week to my surprise, the house came back on the market. This time it had a new owner. A foreclosure company now owns it because the renters moved out and the previous owner could not afford the payments. Too bad she did not let me show it. Her credit is down the tubes now and the house is not in the same condition.
Owners do get tired of showing their property and expecting a sale and they get disappointed when it doesn't happen as soon as they think it should. But don't give up, like this lady did. It will cost you dearly.
Another home, another story of a couple that has moved out and their home is about to be repossessed. I had a potential buyer last week for them but they would not let me show it. They have been trying to sell it by themselves for over a year with no luck and now have given up. I don't understand this thinking when a real estate agent could sell it for them and save their credit. They could maybe even make some money. They basically are tired of trying and have just given up. Please don't let this happen to you.
