When a Buyer Finds "The One," There is No Stopping Them
The year 2020 has been one of the most intense seller's markets ever. In fact, having been licened since 2005, I can honestly say, I have never seen another market like this one. The demand for housing is out of control. Sellers were reluctant to list their homes either due to pandemic concerns or due to worries of not being able to find another home to buy.
Only two buyers of the near dozen I helped in the Gainesville market won their home first try out. Others that lost out in multiple offer scenarios one to five times were discouraged. They would wonder if they would ever get a home. As I told each one, "When you find the home that is meant to be yours, there will be no stopping you in writing the offer it takes to win that home."
In my career as a Bristow/Gainesville Real Estate Agent, I have seen many buyers half-heartedly make offers to throw on a multiple offer pile. I give them the same advice each time on what it would take to be competitive. Yet, many times they aren't feeling like pushing that hard. And when they lose, they get discouraged. Inevitably, when "the one" reveals itself, whatever it takes to get the home is written on paper and the deal is made.
Today, I helped a former disheartened Gainesville buyer make her home ownership dreams come true. Just like other buyers, when she found the one, she went all-in when it came to writing an offer. And she got the home.
