"The constant truth in a buyer's market"

By
Real Estate Agent with BuyIt Realty

The constant truth in sales...is alway true.In todays market (a buyers market) it's difficult to understand what buyer's are thinking or planning on doing when they are making an offer on one of your houses. Right here...right now, you are going to learn what will always be true no matter what market your in or what business your in. 

 

 If a buyer makes and offer that is considerably less than your asking price...don't threat. Remember, the constant truth is always true.

If a buyer makes a "low ball" offer, rest assure they didn't see a house down the street that they liked just as much for the same price or they would be making an offer on that house.(exclusions:those who make time wasting offers and those who will only buy if your seller bleeds) You can also rest easy knowing that they didn't see a house down the street that they liked a little more for the same price, or guess where they would be!! The point is, don't worry if someone makes, what we like to call a "low ball" offer.Just Inform and educate your clients and stick to your guns! I promise you will sell your listings for more and your clients will be much happier! REMEMBER three things...1.it's not what you say, it's how you say it! 2.The power of please! 3.The constant truth is always true!

Hi Shane,  I just took another one of Rick Geha's class & one of my AHA's was "Think of this market as your market, it's the only one you've got."  You are right, when we set our seller's expectations up for possible offers as such, than they are not so surprised or offended.  Expectations for our clients helps with the overalll experience.  Take care.
