When To Low Ball a Short Sale?

If you are the buyer who is instructing a buyer agent to put an offer on a short sale property. .. .a question soon comes up”

How low should your offer price be?

How Low Is Too Low?

Does your Realtor even knows the answer?

As a listing agent for short sales, I see the timing process many times has not been grasped by the buyer and their agent alike. . when they present an offer for a short sale listing. 

If I put a listing in 3 days ago and the price is comparable of what is selling in the neighborhood. .

presenting an offer with a 25% OFF reduction is only wasting your time and my time. .really!

 

I will not allow my client to accept a low ball so early on the game and put the property under contract with such a ridiculous offer that I know it will most likely fail. (I will present the offer, its an obligation. .but  I will also advice them) 

Yes, the bank could accept a low ball offer and everybody could be surprised. . . , but you will not roll the dice for your win all over my client's house. . .I have to give my client the best chance to save them from a foreclosure. 

 

We are selling a house. . not a casino!

 

TIMING is everything. .and if your real estate agent is clueless on this department. .you are at a disadvantage BIG TIME!

 

Please watch our video and learn how to prepare an offer that the seller and the lender will not refuse!

“Thank you Fernando  and Susan (Team Member)for EVERYTHING!  We are so relieved to be out of this mess and to be able to start over again.
It really has taken a load off of our minds and knocked down the stress level A LOT!  You were both completely on top of your game (and the mountain of paperwork) which made this entire process go so smoothly.  I really cannot believe that it's OVER and everything did work out to our advantage.  We knew we were taking a gamble with the short-sale, but we really owe our success to you and your team.”

THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!
Amanda & Eric B

I have to explain this to my buyers when putting in offers on short sales. We do not want to waste time on either side of the transaction.

Short sale is not a fire sale...you may get a slight discount but in a declining market the discount may be market price by the time an approval arrives!

Fernando, So true. As a Short Sale Listing Broker, I will not advise my clients to enter into a contract that has no chance of closing. It's a waste of everybody's time and energy. Tom

This is a true problem, buyers do not understand the difference between short sale and bank owned...or at least that is what I believe.
