The key to getting the house you want without a degree in Psychology.

To quote the over-quoted Zig Ziglar:   "Paralysis by Analysis".

  It's a commodity, folks!   Make an offer, or move along. 

Richard, although it's not like buying apples at the grocery store, over-analysis can definitely stop buyers and sellers in their tracks. I agree, let's get on with it.

Oh, do I know what you mean!  Back in the heady days when houses in our area were appreciating wildly, buyers would analyze and over analyze how much the sellers were "making" on the sale and then determine for the sellers how much was "enough profit."  Really, as if it were anyone's business...questions about motivation, questions about why they are selling, questions, questions, questions.  Consider the comps, consider if you actually WANT the house and make a decision.  

Hi Richard, well said and certainly good food for thought to remind our clients it takes action to make a deal. 

This is fantastic information. Thanks for sharing and best of luck!

All you can do is ask, but start asking for stupid stuff and ............... there goes your purchase.

I have a listing in south Fulton that I need you to sell for me. 6% commission to the selling broker. Recently renovated. New windows with lifetime warranty and new HVAC and newer kitchen appliances. GAMLS 7318667.
