Everyone has a story, "I am sorry but the price is price."

They certainly never ceases to both amaze and not amaze all at once. :)

Yolanda - sometimes the stories we hear are like - you can't be serious! You didn't just say that! The price is the price folks!

Oh boy, it's nearly as bad as the seller saying " It has to sell for this price because I need this amount." Crazy making at times isn't it? Hahaha. All you can do is shake your head and secretly wish them along their way to find solutions. :) 

Yolanda- I wonder if these people truly believe that the world revolves around them?!

Yolanda, OH MY, that was a really good come-back, and you are so right.   Cannot believe a REALTOR would say that to you.

Yolanda, love the stories, they make good conversation at dinner parties, conversation with friends and great food for blog posts but that is about it:))Endre

In doing a few rentals over the years, I have heard some crazy stories as well.  I guess some people figure that since they put themselves in a bad situation, others should feel sorry for them and help them out.  The people that I respected the most were the ones that own up to the bad situation they put themselves in, didn't try to use it as an excuse, but rather showed that they were willing to work hard to get themselves out of it and go forward under the terms that the owner had set.

Good morning Yolanda. Funny post and very true. Enjoy the day.

Their problems are only personal problems, and have nothing to do with the value of the home, and what it is likely to sell for when marketed to a qualified buyer.

I have run into a couple of smarty pants that thought they knew the market and what the prices should be. The seller sets the listing price and the buyer can make an offer.

Thanks, Yolanda, for sharing your experience.

Have an outstanding week.
