The Buyer, The Realtor, and The Perfect Home

Mortgage and Lending with Mortgage Financial Group, Inc (NMLS 219650) NMLS #359029

Realtor: Here it is!!!

Buyer: Where?

Realtor: There.

Buyer: What, behind the 4 bed, 3 bath, 2 car garage brand new home?

Realtor: It is the 4 bed, 3 bath, 2 car garage brand new home.

Buyer: Silly, Realtor.

Realtor: What?

Buyer: You got me all worked up.

Realtor: Well, that is no ordinary home.

Buyer: Oh?

Realtor: That is the cheapest, newest, never-lived in, best deal in the area home you will ever set your eyes on.

Buyer: That is a shack at best. Maybe a shed in today’s market. Move on to the next house. I hope it is more in line with what I expect, or I am going to find another Realtor that can get me what I want.

Realtor: I am warning you, but do you listen to me? Oh, no, you know it all, don’t you?

Buyer: Shut up and show me the next house.

Realtor: There is no other house… this is the best house.

Buyer: Well, how much do they want for it?

Realtor: $200,000

Buyer: Let me consult with my other half. Here is our offer on moving forward: First, they must accept our first and only offer. If they don’t, their loss. Then they must drop the price $30,000. No less, but possibly more. $30,000 is the number. Not $20,000 unless they are counting up to $30,000. $40,000 will be better and $50,000 will be best. But no less than $30,000 off the price.

Realtor: Are you serious?

Buyer: Take it or leave it.

Realtor: Okay, I will put the offer in then, but I have my reservations. Have you at least been pre-approved for the mortgage?

Buyer: No, I am waiting for interest rates to reach 4% like the media says it is going to do.

LOL sounds like real life to me.  I had clients one time in  a hot market wanted the sellers to drop $10,000 because on wall of one of the bedrooms was the wrong color....

Jason,

I've known that agent and his "client." The "client" has never bought and the agent's spouces supports the family.
