I wrote a couple offers last week for a buyer. Thing is, we are in a seller market at this point in the Phoenix and Laveen area, especially in the lower price ranges (under $200,000). Yup, it is very competitive once you look under that price range.
So as I mentioned I have a buyer I've been working with, trying to secure a home. At this point we have not had much luck, as many offers that we are submitting are competiting with 3 or more offers. It can be difficult for sure. Yet, that is my job, to try and get my clients to their goal - in this case into a home.
So, to the realtor professional tip #1. My opinion is, if you want to truly be seen as a professional you will have great communication. This means:
1. Pick up the phone when people call
2. Return calls when someone leaves you a message
3. Acknowledge receipt of an offer when it is received
4. Inform agent/s when an offer is accepted
As an example, I have called for availability on a home, and have never received a call back. You can try again, and often fall into the same result. I had an offer that I submitted over a week ago, still not get acknowlegment of receipt. Never mind the return call to acknowledge.
So again, tip #1, improve and nail down communication. It could also be a potential buyer, seller trying to call you.
