How far would a buyer go to keep other offers away from a new listing?

Have you ever seen a buyer sabotage another buyers chances of buying a home? I am seeing a disturbing trend that started with keys disappearing from lock boxes every now and then. You often think the agent put them in their pocket and forgot. But how about breaking the lock of the front door of a vacant home? What could be coincidence, does not seem like a prankster or a break in. 

With a new Manchester NH area home listing priced to sell, I knew we would get a great deal of showings and offers. Half way through the day i started getting calls people could not get in. I told them i had been there myself and the lock was working fine. They said "there is no lock". I drove down to investigate, followed foot prints in the snow and found the lock with lock box attached behind a bush. I got a good shot of the foot print, size and have narrowed it down.

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Well perhaps someone was short sighted to think stopping showings would give their offer a better chance? I will get to the bottom of this and may have to place trail cams or such on future listings.

The HARD FACTS is that in some markets there is a shortage of homes for sale. The best chance to get your offer accepted is making your bets offer first. 

THE BOTTOM LINE is that there is a Right way and a Wrong to BUY or SELL a home. Buyers and Sellers need real answers and real solutions. Communication is key. Having a GOOD agent is a must. A buyer broker MUST update a buyer about market conditions and help that buyer get their offer accepted.

The HARD TRUTH  is the BEST way to go about any home sale or purchase is to know that the consumer should not choose just any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home.

It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.  By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home .
