Have You Considered Leaving It For the Buyers?

Hello Chris Ann - the recently purchased kitchen island for sale makes me wonder if the motivation is something more than greed?  I dunno...the wondering continues...  

Chris Ann - you are so right - I am trying to get homes for my buyers .... to no avail in many cases - UGH is right

Good morning, Chris Ann... no doubt it's a stressful market for our buyers and by extension for us. Getting one's offer accepted can be so random, regardless of how good it is. As to answering your question... I long ago realized I just can't figure out what people think and why they do what they do.

Good morning Chris Ann. This is not the time for the greedy to wring the sponge one more time. They may end up losing. Enjoy your day.

It is a stressful time for buyers. It would be great if they were given the option to keep that island, but perhaps there's more to the seller's story.

Crazy times dictates crazy activity, real estate is no exception. Sellers have become very greedy over the last 4 yrs, since the lack of inventory created higher inflation of home values due to desperate buyers.  This work table would have been a great incentive for homebuyers, in other markets than today’s environment.  We need to impress upon our Sellers to have a more gratitude attitude in this process. Remember, it goes for all parties, too.  Less listing commissions, coop commissions towards buyers closing costs, opportunities to acquire home warranties for both clients... share the good blessings for all to enjoy

It's crappy crazy what buyers and their agents are going through, and what buyers need to do to stand a chance of getting their offer accepted. I have not worked with buyers in years.  However, I am working with one couple in the $3M price range. The homes are selling for $500,000 above list, with no continencies and in many cases, the sellers get 60 days free "rent" back. 

Being on the listing side is no picnic either. These are challenging times for certain. So much more time and energy are invested in all that we do.  

Here's to better days ahead!

There are still sellers out there who are considerate, kind, and understanding. I've worked with a few who left gardening equipment behind, or entire bedroom sets. First-time buyers especially are super appreciative of any extra (not the junk though ;)

But I have experienced some questionable, inconsiderate and rude behavior as well.  

Hi Chris Ann it is tough for buyers to win a bid amongst so many offers. Buyers agents have their work cut out for them. So far this year I haven't run into greedy sellers. But the year is young. All of our offers are over list and that goes for both buyers and sellers.

Good evening Chris. Yeah sometimes you just have to scratch your head and wonder.

Not sure why people don't act with a gracious and giving heart at times. It's difficult to know what goes on in people's minds. I do think many sellers have plenty of reasons to feel grateful right now. Sharing some of that with a bit of generosity would be preferable.
