Ooops! Wrong house.....I am offering on another.

By
Real Estate Agent with John L. Scott Sp34627

I called the other agent to ask what her client thought of my listing.  To my absolute delight she told me she was writing an offer and expected that I should recieve it in an hours. 

 

I almost called my seller..... I was excited.  I decided against it.  She could know of the offer when I recieved it.  

 

I waited and waited the hour turned into 2 then 3.  At about 7:30 I messaged her and asked if she was waiting until the weather improved.  We have our first real snow.  

 

I finally went to sleep.  I tried calling in the morning.  I was having a sinking feeling.  

 

She messaged me at about an hour ago. She wrote an offer for a different home on Albion St.  

 

I am so glad I never told my seller that an offer was coming in.

Yes, it's best to contain our excitement until we have the offer in hand.  Not every agent keeps their promise to write, and no need to involve the sellers until it's in writing.

Don't count your chickens until they hatch!  I would expect that dufus agent to buy me lunch, at the very least.
