Protecting clients like a bulldog on a pant leg.

Along with the updated shortlist, did they also request a renegotiation of the price? So important to know how to be that bulldog and protect your client.

Hey there Wanda! Yes, I remember the first bulldog, Dody Donahue, what a great agent she was

I wonder if perhaps the agent got the list wrong. There's always more to the story than meets the eye! (I think my mom used to say that).

Enjoy your day.

Wanda,

Very timely post! Within the past two or three years, the "behavior" of many buyer's has advanced from one where a few significant requests/conditions were subsequently added to the original contract, versus now.......where a continuing "laundry list" of addendum's is submitted for consideration. It's a never-ending process for some of today's buyers. As the landscape has shifted to a "seller's market", many sellers, after being brow-beat by a "demanding" buyer or two...simply "eighty-six" potential buyers with overreaching ambitions and never-ending requests. 

Unfortunately, increasing numbers of buyer's seem "numb" to the fact, our market place today, favors the Seller! The average buyer prospect today, can't recognize the different market conditions which exist within our current housing market......and that of heading to a nearby "big box" store to "fast track" the purchase of a new TV set!    

Wanda- I just love the phrase "like a bulldog on a pant leg!"  and I know that I want that with an agent I'm working with...full of tenacity!

Well in my market if this took place a month or so ago it would have been Party Over... now that the market has cooled a bit it is not because it is a buyer's market rather it is due to lack of inventory... so buyers need to forget the lists... at least here in Los Angeles, Endre

Hi Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! ,

Love the visual of a bull dog on a pant leg. Definitely see your point. It's human nature for some to ask for the moon..always interesting to see how buyers look at the inspection reports..often its how the inspector chooses to explain the severity of items they they mark.

It is always the responsibility of the buyers agent to set the tone for repairs stemming from an Inspection.  If a buyer wants a perfect house s they should buy a new construction and not expect a house of character to be perfect.
