Real estate agents around the world have encountered this phenomenon from time to time. We sit with a buyer client and listed intently to what they are looking for in a home. Then we pull out all the stops and find the perfect home. The moon and the stars have all aligned and THE PERFECT HOUSE presents itself. It is priced very well, does not have 4 offers on it yet, is clean, is a great neighborhood, and smells nice too! Its PERFECT!
The buyers get excited and OH and AH all over the home for 3 hours. If we stay any longer looking at the home we will have to fill out rental forms. The listing agent has uploaded everything you need into the MLS and your buyers say...I think we will keep looking. You know this is just the first home we have seen.
If I am to understand this buyer response correctly, I believe I should hold on to the best property until I show you four dozen homes. Bu that time you will be ready to buy? In this market that can be dangerous. Wonderful homes generally don't last long. If you spend the night thinking about it, it is doubtful you will spend a night in it.
I am here to tell you, Mr. and Mrs. Buyer, that if the first home you see meets all your requirements, and you love it, make an offer now not later. It just means the spirits are looking upon you favorably and/or your agent did a great job finding you the one. Not sure where the idea came from that you cannot buy the first home you look at, but this idea could cost you the home that was meant for you.
So, contact me and let's see how well I can do finding you your dream home. I can't promise you will love the first home, but I can promise you we will find a home for you!
